35
Q

Magnesium Sulfate can

A

improve bronchodilation and can be given via IV or NEB treatment

36
Q

Beta agonist activate

A

adenylate cyclase, which activates an increase in cAMP

37
Q

Methylxanthines block________, which increases cAMP and promotes vasodilation

A

PDE(phosphodiesterase and blocks adenosine

38
Q

M3 antagonist block

A

ACh, promoting bronchodilation

39
Q

cAMP________in VASCULAR smooth muscle when agonist bind Gs couple receptors

A

INCREASES, causing a decrease in vascular tone

A

Beta-2

41
Q

Alpha-2 bind to Gi protein, causing cAMP to ________in the vascular smooth muscle, ________vascular tone

A

DECREASE; increase (activates MLCK)

42
Q

An ______in cAMP will ______MLCK, causing________

A

increase; inhibit; relaxation

43
Q

catecholamines

47
Q

Increased cGMP causes

A

48
Q

L-arginine breaks down into
