applied neuropharmacology Flashcards
1
Q
local aesthetics to reduce synaptic transmission
A
block voltage gated sodium channels no depolarisation and no action potential is getting provoked
2
Q
A
block ca gated channels so no calcium dependent exocytosis
3
Q
competitive antagonist
A
high affinity for the receptor but low efficacy so no response
4
Q
name a competitive antagonist
A
beta blocker
5
Q
which molecules can cross the blood brain barrier
A
tyrosine and DOPA
6
Q
which molecule cannot cross the blood brain barrier
A
dopamine
7
Q
why does dopamine produce different effects
A
due to there being 5 different receptors which each produce a different effect on different parts of the brain
