N402 Pharm Exam 2 Questions with correct answers
What are Adrenergic Drugs? Correct Answer-drugs that stimulate the
sympathetic nervous system
1. Adrenaline =Activates
2. CHOLinergic =Calms
What are Sympathetic Nervous System neurotransmitters??? Correct
Answer-norepinephrine, epinephrine, & dopamine
What are the types of adrenergic receptors?? Correct Answer-A1 (all
smooth muscle, glands and organs) and B1 (heart, juxtaglomerular cells,
kidneys) = Stimulate
A2(pre-synaptic terminals) and B2 (all-Smooth muscle ((relax
bronchioles)), glands, and organs) = Suppress
What is the difference between epinephrine & norepinephrine? Correct
Answer-Epinephrine and norepinephrine are very similar
neurotransmitters and hormones.
-While epinephrine has slightly more of an effect on your heart,
norepinephrine has more of an effect on your blood vessels.
-Both play a role in your body's natural fight-or-flight response to stress
and have important medical uses as well
,What is Norepinepherine (NE)?? Correct Answer-Released by most
postganglionic nerves
-class of agents called catecholamines
--natural- NE, Epi, dopamine
--Synthetic- isoproterenol, dobutamine
What is the pathophysiology of sympathetic nervous system? Correct
Answer-Physiological changes induced by the sympathetic nervous
system include accelerating the heart rate, widening bronchial passages,
decreasing motility of the large intestine, dilating the pupils, and causing
perspiration.
-Think Fight or Flight; what is needed to F/F and what would adding
adrenaline do to that?
-Agonist= alcoholic keeps drinking
State the easy tip for difference between Agonist & Antagonist??
Correct Answer-Agonist- Alcoholics keep drinking
AntAgonist- AA stops alcoholics from drinking
What describes the sympathetic nervous system?? Correct Answer-the
division of the autonomic nervous system that arouses the body,
mobilizing its energy in stressful situations
What are the receptors of the sympathetic nervous system?? Correct
Answer-alpha 1, alpha 2,
,beta 1, beta 2,
-beta 3 (no one talks about Bruno! adipose tissue lipolysis)
-tick tack to A and beta receptors, 1s stim, 2s inhibit
What does dopamine do? Correct Answer-speeds up the heart rate
increases cardiac contractility
What do Adrenergic neurotransmitters? Correct Answer-norepinephrine
(BV);
epinephrine (heart);
dopamine;
Understand the general target actions, adverse effects, and uses of
adrenergic agonists and antagonists Correct Answer-Target 🎯;
A/E;
Use;
What do Adrenergic agonists?? Correct Answer-Target 🎯 A and Beta
receptors
A/E; increase effects of fight/flight activation.
Use; increase blood pressure (A1), inhibit norepi release (A2); increased
HR and contraction force; release of renin (B1); inhibition of smooth
muscle (B2); lipolysis/relax detrusor muscle to pee (B3/Bruno)
, The stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system is also called?
Correct Answer-adrenergic agents or sympathomimetics
What is the inhibition of the sympathetic nervous sys is called?? Correct
Answer-adrenergic-blocking agents, adrenergic antagonists, or
sympatholytic
What are Adverse reactions from adrenergic agents?? Correct Answer-
tachycardia
HTN
dysrhythmia
CNS excitation and seizures
dry mouth
NV
anorexia (decreased appetite)
suppress GI
What is Phenylephrine? Correct Answer-Prototype drug- Phenylephrine
(Neo-Synephrine)
Pharmacological class- Adrenergic drug (sympathomimetic)
MOA- selective A-adrenergic agonist (A1 mainly)
