Q

Action potentials of any given neuron are governed by what?

A

All-or-None-Law
-action potential is not related to intensity of stimulation,
only minimum has to be reached to generate AP
-intensity can generate more APs to stimulate more neurons

MOA of antipsychotics (neuroleptics)

A

block dopamine receptors

131
Q

Examples of antipsychotics (neuroleptics)

A

chlorpromazine (Thorazine)
thioridazine (Mellaril)
haloperidol (Haldol)
clozapine (Clozaril) - less SE, more NTs

132
Q

antipsychotics (neuroleptics) prescribed for?

A
  • schizophrenia: positive symptoms

- acute mania, psychotic symptoms

133
Q

dopamine hypothesis

A

schizophrenia relaed to overactivity of dopamine
(Parkinson’s too little), experts now believe more complex
and involve other NT like norepi and serotonin

134
Q

side effects of antipsychotics (neuroleptics)

A

anticholinergic
extrapyramidal: Parkinsonism and tardive dyskinesia
(abnormal invol mvmts esp in face)

135
Q

tardive dyskinesia

A
  • abnormal invol mvmts esp in face
  • delayed effect of antipsychotic use
  • relieved somewhat w/withdrawal
136
Q

What is special about clozapine (Clozaril)?

A
  • newer “atypical” antipsychotic
  • less SE (no tardive dys or exrapyram)
  • lowers activity of multiple NT
  • agranulocytosis (low white blood cells)
137
Q

MOA of benzodiazepines

A

increase GABA activity which inhibits CNS

138
Q

SE of benzos

A
  • drowsiness and sedation
  • anterorgade amnesia (esp w/IV)
  • elderly - confusion and disorient
  • addictive
  • fatal if mixed w/alcohol or other CNS depressant
139
Q

MOA and examples of barbiturates

A

interrupt impulses to RAS
thiopental (Pentothal)
amobarbital (Amytal)
secobarbital (Seconal)

140
Q

barbituates tx for what?

A
  • replaced by benzos for anxiety

- anesthetic, acute mgmt of agitated px

141
Q

SE of barbituates

A
  • addictive (fatal withdrawal)
  • drug-of-choice for suicide
  • suppress respiration
  • esp. lethal w/alcohol
142
Q

Beta-blockers as tx for what?

A

performance related anxiety

reduces sympathetic NS activity

143
Q

benzos vs. beta-blockers?

A

-beta blockers less effective in tx cognitive/psychic
experience of anxiety but more effective in physical
-beta blockers more likely cause memory impairment

144
Q

MOA of psychostimulants

A

mimic catecholamines (norepi and dopamine) in brain

145
Q

MOA of narcotic-analgesics

A

block transmission of neural impulses to CNS

146
Q

narcotic-analgesics tx for what?

A

pre-operative meds, acute pain, chronic pain w/cancer, detox

147
Q

Methadone used for what?

A

in detoxification programs as substitute for heroin, milder
