Answer 1

depolarizing agent

Question 2

atracurium

Answer 2

nondepolarizing agnet

Question 3

cisatracurium

Answer 3

nondepolarizing agnet

Question 4

rocuronium

Answer 4

nondepolarizing agnet

Question 5

vecuronium

Answer 5

nondepolarizing agnet

Question 6

baclofen

Answer 6

centrally acting spasmolytic drugs

Question 7

diazepam

Answer 7

centrally acting spasmolytic drugs

Question 8

tizanidine

Answer 8

centrally acting spasmolytic drugs

Question 9

dantrolene

Answer 9

direct acting muscle relaxant

Question 10

these drugs compete with Ach for the binding site; they will also enter and block the ion channel at high doses

Answer 10

non-depolarizing relaxant drugs

Question 11

these drugs reacts with the nicotinic receptor to open the ion channel and cause depolarization ( goes through phase one and phase two blocks)

Answer 11

depolarizing relaxant drugs

Question 12

what is phase one block

Answer 12

flaccid paralysis results bc muscle fibers cannot repolarize

Question 13

what is phase two block

Answer 13

due to prolonged exposure , repolarization occurs but it is desensitized

Question 14

this specific drug is an agonists at the GABA receptors;

Answer 14

baclofen ( spasmolytic)

Question 15

this specific drug is an alpha 2 agonist ; effective for migraines

Answer 15

tizanidine ( spasmolytic )

Question 16

this specific drug reduces skeletal muscle strength by interfering with excitation- contraction coupling in the muscle fibers; prevents release of Ca by blocking the SR channel;

Answer 16

dantrolene ( direct acting muscle relaxant)
