muscle relaxants Flashcards
1
Q
neuromuscular blockers
A
muscle paralysis
acts peripherally
inhibit the nerve impulse transmission from the motor nerve to the neuromuscular junction
2
Q
spasmolytics and antispasmodics
A
to reduce spasicity, lowering muscle tone
act centrally
3
Q
prejunctional blockers
A
inhibition of Ach liberation
aminoglycosides
botulinum toxin
4
Q
post junctional blockers
A
- non depolarizing muscle relaxants (competitive antagonists)
- depolarizing muscle relaxants
5
