Q

______ is morphine with two acetyl groups. The acetyl groups make it more ____ , allowing it to cross the BBB easier

A

17
Q

Opiates mimick which NT’s

A

endorphins

18
Q

Three types of endorphins

A

Enkephalins
Beta Endorphins
Dynorphins

19
Q

What is a mu receptor

A

Opiod receptor that most opiods interact with involved in pain relief, euphoria, reward

20
Q

Receptor involved in learning associations between drug and environment

A

Delta receptor

21
Q

Anti reward opiod receptor

A

Kappa receptor

22
Q

How do opiates act on the reward circuit

A

Activation of M receptors on GABA neurons inhibits release of GABA. GABA then does not inhibit dopamine, leaving excess DA in the reward circuit

23
Q

Morphine is a ______ at M and D receptors

A

full agonist

24
Q

Codeine is a full agonist at ____ receptors but is _____x lower than morphine

A

M , 200

25
Q

Opiate effects on pain relief

A

Opiates attach to receptors along pain pathway and block signals

Noci ceptors send signals from skin to CNS about pain, opiods dampen these by reducing their excitability

26
Q

Opiate effects generally diminish without ____

A

increasing dose

27
Q

Tolerance to opiates does not develop for ____

A

GI symptoms

28
Q

Tolerance mechanisms for opiates are

A

Functional (regulation of receptors) and metabolic

29
Q

how is opium harvested

A

incising seed of poppy allowing white milky substances to ooze out
