    Which drug has the greatest effect in the vascular system

    • A.

      Beta adrenergicblocking drug

    • B.

      Alpha adrenergic blocking drugs

    • C.

      Antiadrenergic drugs

    • D.

      Alpha beta adrenergic blocking drugs

    Correct Answer
    B. AlpHa adrenergic blocking drugs
    Explanation
    Alpha adrenergic blocking drugs have the greatest effect in the vascular system. These drugs work by blocking the alpha adrenergic receptors, which are responsible for vasoconstriction. By blocking these receptors, alpha adrenergic blocking drugs cause vasodilation, leading to a decrease in blood pressure. This makes them effective in conditions such as hypertension and benign prostatic hyperplasia, where reducing blood pressure and improving blood flow is desired. Beta adrenergic blocking drugs, on the other hand, primarily affect the heart and are used to treat conditions such as angina, arrhythmias, and heart failure.

      Beta adrenergic blocking drugs

    • C.

      Alpha adrenergic blocking drugs

    • D.

      Alpha beta adrenergic blocking drugs

    Correct Answer
    B. Beta adrenergic blocking drugs
    Explanation
    Beta adrenergic blocking drugs have the greatest effect on adrenergic nerves in the heart. These drugs work by blocking the beta receptors in the heart, which reduces the effects of adrenaline and noradrenaline on the heart. This leads to a decrease in heart rate and blood pressure, making beta blockers effective in treating conditions such as hypertension, angina, and arrhythmias. By specifically targeting the beta receptors, these drugs have a more direct and pronounced effect on adrenergic nerves in the heart compared to other antiadrenergic drugs such as alpha adrenergic blocking drugs or alpha beta adrenergic blocking drugs.

    • B.

      Alpha adrenergic blocking drugs

    • C.

      Beta adrenergic blocking drugs

    • D.

      Antiadrenergic drug

    Correct Answer
    A. AlpHa beta adrenergic drugs
    Explanation
    Alpha beta adrenergic drugs have a wider range of effects compared to the other options listed. This is because alpha beta adrenergic drugs target both alpha and beta adrenergic receptors in the body. These receptors are found in various tissues and organs, including the heart, blood vessels, lungs, and smooth muscles. By targeting both types of receptors, alpha beta adrenergic drugs can have a broader impact on different physiological processes, such as regulating blood pressure, heart rate, and bronchial dilation. In contrast, the other options listed target either alpha or beta adrenergic receptors, limiting their range of effects.

    What adverse reaction(s)  woul be commonly noted with the use of a cholinergic blocking drug

    • A.

      Blurred vision

    • B.

      Dry mouth

    • C.

      Gi upset

    • D.

      All the above

    Correct Answer
    D. All the above
    Explanation
    The use of a cholinergic blocking drug commonly results in adverse reactions such as blurred vision, dry mouth, and gastrointestinal upset. These effects occur because cholinergic blocking drugs inhibit the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for various bodily functions. Blurred vision occurs due to the drug's impact on the muscles controlling the shape of the lens in the eye. Dry mouth is a result of reduced saliva production caused by the drug's interference with acetylcholine's role in salivary gland function. GI upset can occur due to the drug's impact on the digestive system, leading to symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and abdominal discomfort.

    What drug is contraindicated for a patient taking adrenergic drugs for high blood pressure

    • A.

      Bronchodilator

    • B.

      Midodrine

    • C.

      Aspirin

    • D.

      Nasal decongestant

    Correct Answer
    D. Nasal decongestant
    Explanation
    A nasal decongestant is contraindicated for a patient taking adrenergic drugs for high blood pressure because both medications can increase blood pressure. Adrenergic drugs work by stimulating the adrenergic receptors in the body, which can cause vasoconstriction and increase blood pressure. Nasal decongestants also work by constricting blood vessels in the nasal passages, which can lead to an increase in blood pressure. Therefore, combining these medications can potentially lead to dangerously high blood pressure levels.

    What is the neurotransmitter than inactivates acetylcholine?

    Correct Answer
    acetylcholinesterase
    Explanation
    Acetylcholinesterase is the correct answer because it is an enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter, into choline and acetate. By doing so, acetylcholinesterase terminates the action of acetylcholine, preventing its prolonged stimulation of the postsynaptic cell. This process is crucial for the proper functioning of the nervous system, as it allows for the regulation and control of neurotransmitter activity.

These nerves extend from the brain and spinal cord to various parts of the body, allowing for communication between the central nervous system and the rest of the body. The cranial nerves originate from the brain and innervate structures in the head and neck, while the spinal nerves arise from the spinal cord and innervate the rest of the body.
