ANS

Question 1

ANS: cholingergic

Answer 1

constrict pupils, increased saliva, bronchconstriction, increased GI mucous, bladder fundus contraction

Question 2

ANS: adrenergic

Answer 2

dry mouth, dilate pupils, increased contractility, increased HR, bronchodilation, bladder fundus relaxes and sphincter contracts

Question 3

ANS: beta adrenergic physiologic activities

Answer 3

cardiac acceleration and increased contractility, vasodilation of arterioles supplying skeletal muscle, bronchial relaxation, uterine relaxation

Question 4

cholinergic drugs

Answer 4

parasympathomimetic

Question 5

ANS: alpha adrenergic physiologic activities

Answer 5

vasoconstriction of arterioles -> increase BP, pupil dilation, relax gut

Question 6

cholinergic blocking drugs

Answer 6

parasympatholytic, anticholinergic, or antimuscarinic

Question 7

adrenergic blocking agents

Answer 7

sympatholytic

Question 8

adrenergic drugs

Answer 8

sympathomimetic

Question 9

beta 2 agonists

Answer 9

bronchodilation main use of these drugs (albuterol)

Question 10

alpha 1 receptors use

Answer 10

nasal congestion, hypotension, dilation of pupils for eye exam

Question 11

indirect acting cholinergics available

Answer 11

cholinesterase inhibitors. prototype: neostigmine bromide/Prostigmin

Question 12

alpha 2 receptors use

Answer 12

hypertension

Question 13

main use of cholinergic drugs

Answer 13

decrease IOP in glaucoma, treat atony of GI tract and bladder, tx and treat myasthenia gravis, anticholinergic toxicity trated with physostigmine

Question 14

beta 1 receptors use

Answer 14

cardiac arrest, HF, shock

Question 15

beta 2 receptors use

Answer 15

asthma, premature labor contractions

Question 16

alpha 2 agonists

Answer 16

slow HR and cause vasodilation by working centrally in brain. clonidine lowers BP and HR, used for treating withdrawal symptoms, ADHD

Question 17

adrenergic antagonists: alpha blockers

Answer 17

block alpha receptors -> vasodilation. treat: HTN, BPH, Raynaud’s disease, migraines

Question 18

beta blockers: propranolol vs atenolol

Answer 18

?

Question 19

alpha blockers available

Answer 19

prazosin/Minipress (HTN), tamulosin/Flomax (BPH)

Question 20

adrenergic antagonists: beta blockers

Answer 20

antagonize/block effects of catecholamines. can be “selective” to beta 1 receptors or “nonselective” to beta 1. mainly used for HTN and post MI. Also, HF, angina, antidysrhytmic post MI, migraine prophylaxis, arrythmias

Question 21

direct acting cholinergics available

Answer 21

bethanechol/Urecholine, pilocarpine/Pilocar

Question 22

uses for anticholinergic drugs

Answer 22

block vagal impulses to heart. supress or decrease respiratory secretions preop med, bladder spasms. relax sphyncter muscle of iris. treat tremors/rigidity Parkinsonism. treat side effects of psychotropic meds.

Question 23

bethanechol/Urecholine

Answer 23

increases tone of detrusor muscle and causes bladder contractions. Increases gastric tone. Used for: neurogenic bladder atony. NOT used for reflux

Question 24

anticholinergic drugs available

Answer 24

atropine is prototype. belladonna tincture. trihexyphenidyl/Artane, oxybutinin Cl/Ditropan, scopolamine/Hycosine, benztropine/Cogentin

Question 25

cholinesterase inhibitors uses

Answer 25

myasthenia gravis (neostigmine and pyridostigmine), Alzheimer's (donepezil/Aricept)

Question 26

cholinergic blockers available and uses

Answer 26

atropine prototype. scopolamine motion sickness. ipratropium bromide bronchodilator. benzotropine EPS symptoms. oxybutin bladder spasms.
