Q

Glucagon action

A

Natural polypeptide hormone secreted by the pancreas. Released to breakdown stored glycogen to glucose and inhibits the synthesis of glycogen from glucose. Acts on
receptor sites similar to those of epinephrine producing catecholamine like effects.

Q

Fentanyl action

A

A potent short acting narcotic agonist used for its analgesic properties. Fentanyl does not cause the vasodilation associated with morphine and so may be acceptable for use in hypovolemic patients.
