Cholinergic Agonist

Answer 16

Contracts the ciliary muscle
MIOTICS Green

Question 17

Anticholinergic

Answer 17

blocks muscarinic receptors and
inhibits binding of acetylcholine.

Question 18

Mydriasis Cycloplegia

(pupil becomes larger, dilates)
(accommodation is paralyzeze) red

Question 19

Cholinesterase inhibitors

Answer 19

inhibiting the activity of
an enzyme known as acetylcholinesterase. Dark Green (Miotics)

Question 20

Alpha Agonist
Beta Agonist

Answer 20

Agonists bind to the alpha or beta receptor to mimic
epinephrine or norepinephrine.

Question 21

Alpha Blocker
Beta Blocker

Answer 21

Antagonists bind to the alpha or beta receptors to
block

Answer 22

red

Question 23

Alphagan

Answer 23

Reduces aqueous production * Increases aqueous outflow purple

Question 24

Beta Agonist
