24
Q

The ultimate goal of both Phase I and Phase II reactions is to make a more _____-______ product.

A

water-soluble

for elimination purposes

25
Q

What is responsible for the process of Phase I reactions?

A

cytochrome p-450

26
Q

What are some examples of drugs metabolized by Phase II reactions?

A

morphine, acetaminophen, digoxin, sulfonamides, dopamine, and epinephrine

27
Q

Drugs with a high hepatic extraction ratio depends on what for metabolism?

A

blood flow

28
Q

Drugs with a low extraction ratio depend on what for metabolism?

A

enzyme activity and protein binding

29
Q

The local anesthetics, procaine, chloroprocaine, and tetracaine are all esters. How are they metabolized?

A

by pseudocholinesterase

a plasma cholinesterase

30
Q

How are amide local anesthetics metabolized?

A

by liver metabolism

31
Q

What is the most important plasma protein for binding of drugs?

A

albumin

32
Q

How are benzodiazepines metabolized?

A

in the liver by hepatic microsomal oxidation and glucuronide conjugation

(so, by both Phase I and Phase II reactions!)

33
Q

With the exception of remifentanil, how are opioids eliminated?

A

by hepatic metabolism

34
Q

How is remifentanil metabolized?

A

by ubiquitous esterases in the plasma

35
Q

What are the methods of metabolism for propofol?

A

hepatic glucuronate and sulfate conjugation

Phase II reactions

36
Q

What are the methods of metabolism for etomidate?

A

ester hydrolysis (major) and N-dealkylation (minor)

37
Q

What is the method of metabolism for ketamine?

A

N-demethylation

ketamine –> (N-demethylation) –> norketamine

38
Q

Are the hepatic microsomes which contain the cytochrome p-450 enzymes responsible for metabolizing anesthetic gases?

A

yes, yes they are

39
Q

How is succinylcholine metabolized?

A

by pseudocholinesterase

a plasma cholinesterase. because succinylcholine is an ester

40
Q

How is cisatracurium eliminated?

A

hofman elimination

41
Q

How is vecuronium eliminated?

A

primarily by biliary excretion

42
Q

How is rocuronium eliminated?

A

primarily by biliary excretion

secondarily by renal and hepatic metabolism

43
Q

Hepatic blood flow is _________ with general anesthesia and regional anesthesia.

A

decreased

44
Q

A

inhibit

45
Q

What are 4 important functions of the kidneys?

A
  1. regulation of ECF/BP
  2. regulation of ionic composition
  3. electrolyte balance (Na, K, Ca, Mg, Cl)
  4. acid-base balance (H+ and HCO3)
46
Q

What is the major energy macromolecule within the body?

A

adenosine triphosphate (ATP)

47
Q

What is the net ATP production of anaerobic respiration?

A

2 ATP

48
Q

What is the net ATP production of aerobic respiration?

A

34 - 38 ATP

49
Q

During anaerobic metabolism, what does the end product of glycolysis (pyruvate) get converted to?

A

lactic acid

50
Q

How much ATP is produced specifically within the Krebs Cycle?

A

none

ATP is formed during glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation within the electron transport chain

51
Q

How many trips around the Krebs Cycle do you get with one glucose molecule?

A

2

because the glucose molecule gets split into 2 parts during glycolysis

52
Q

ATP production by ATP synthase is made possible by what is known as an _________ _______.

A

electrochemical gradient

(the electron transport chain pumps hydrogen ions across the inner matrix of the mitrochondria, creating an area of higher concentration within the cell matrix. since there is more hydrogen there, it wants to get back to the inside of the cell, but the only way it can is to do work and make some ATP!)

53
Q

What are the two enzymes responsible for transporting hydrogen ions to the electron transport chain, which can then be used to create an electrochemical gradient?

A

NADH and FADH

(technically it’s NAD and FAD. the H on both of them stands for hydrogen. so, when they are transporting the hydrogen, you tack on the H. pretty cool, huh?)

54
Q

Is hemoglobin a quaternary protein structure?

A

yup, sure is.

meaning, it has a heme group for each of its four polypeptides

55
Q

Hemoglobin has _______ _______ with oxygen. Meaning, that there is a structural change with each oxygen bound, making it easier for more oxygen to bind to the hemoglobin.

A

cooperative binding

(this is also the reason that most hemes will completely fill with oxygen prior to unoxygenated hemoglobin begin to bind with oxygen)
