Question 42

-curium

Answer 42

neuromuscular blocking agents

Question 43

-cort

Answer 43

cortisone derivatives

Question 44

Mimic effects of neurotransmitters naturally found in human brain. Aids in production of enhancement of action. Stimulates and action. Works at time of relaxation of muscles. Imitates action of neurotransmitters.

Answer 44

agonist

Question 45

first acts like neurotransmitter, binding directly to receptor site – direct bind allows recipient to experience effects of drug as if they were released directly into brain. Ex. : dopamine, apomorphine, and nicotine 


Answer 45

direct binding

Question 46

enhance neurotransmitter actions by stimulating neurotransmitters release, increasing emissions. Example: cocaine 


Answer 46

indirect binding

Question 47

Block brains neurotransmitters. Opposes action of agonist and blocks reception. Sit idle and do nothing while agonist are working. Response blocked by working against drug. Works during the phase of muscle contraction. Manage status- quo of receptors by staying away from altering its activity although the might help in getting receptors bound. Action of neurotransmitter is obstructed.

Answer 47

antagonist

Question 48

take up space present on receptors otherwise occupied by neurotransmitters. End result is that neurotransmitters themselves are blocked from binding to receptors. Example: atropine 


Answer 48

direct acting- antagonist

Question 49

inhibiting release or production of neurotransmitter are known as indirect-acting antagonist. Example: reserpine 


Answer 49

indirect acting

Question 50

Describe the general concept of the MOA of analgesics

Answer 50

Depress thalamus and interfere with transmission of pain impulses. In addition, brains interpretation of pain may be altered with the use of these drugs.
