Questions and Answers

3 Cholinergic activities

Nerves and receptors of PNS, ACh binds to cholinergic Rc and stimulates PNS, Acetylcholinesterase inactivates ACh

what is the neurotransmitter of the PNS?

ACH, Muscarinic,

PNS receptors where do they attach and what action takes place when active?

pupil of eye = miosis (constrict) bronchi = SM contracts Heart = chronotropic decrease (HR decrease) blood vessels = Vasodilation

Parasympatholytics Block the PNS & Parasympathomimetics stimulate PNS

Also called anticholinesterases is a ___________ acting agent Inhibit the enzyme ACH-esterase which results in an increase in ACH at cholinergic receptor sites Two types Reversible Used to treat Myasthenia gravis and Alzheimer’s Disease Pyridostigmine and neostigmine (MG) Aricept (donepezil) and Exelon (rivastigmine) (AZ) Irreversible Form long bonds which increases duration of action Echothiophate used topically for glaucoma Pesticides and chemical warfare In large doses can cause severe toxicity

What is the benefit of taking Celebrex (celecoxib) over Motrin (ibuprofen)?

<p>Gastrointestinal Safety: Celebrex is known as a selective COX-2 inhibitor, which means it primarily targets the cyclooxygenase-2 enzyme responsible for inflammation and pain without significantly affecting COX-1, which plays a role in protecting the stomach lining.</p> Signup and view all the answers

List the anticholinergics

<p>Anticholinergic drugs are a class of medications that block the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in various bodily functions, including muscle contractions and the regulation of certain organs. Anticholinergics are used for a variety of medical purposes, such as relieving symptoms of conditions like overactive bladder, motion sickness, gastrointestinal disorders, and more. Here are some common anticholinergic drugs:</p> <pre><code>Atropine Scopolamine Oxybutynin (e.g., Ditropan) Tolterodine (e.g., Detrol) Solifenacin (e.g., Vesicare) Darifenacin (e.g., Enablex) Trospium (e.g., Sanctura) Glycopyrrolate (e.g., Robinul) Ipratropium (e.g., Atrovent) Tiotropium (e.g., Spiriva) Benztropine (e.g., Cogentin) Trihexyphenidyl (e.g., Artane) Dicyclomine (e.g., Bentyl) Propantheline (e.g., Pro-Banthine) </code></pre> Signup and view all the answers
