MULTIPLE CHOICE v6




1. What is the name of the receptor sites that are located in the peripheral vasculature, the heart, bronchial
v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6




muscle, and bronchial blood vessels?
v6 v6 v6 v6 v6




a. Beta 2 receptors v6 c. Alpha receptors
v6 v6




b. Gamma receptors d. Beta 1 receptors
v6 v 6 v 6 v6 v6




ANS: C v 6




Alpha receptors are located in the peripheral vasculature, the heart, bronchial muscle, and bronchial
v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6




blood vessels.
v6 v6




PTS: v 6 1

2. Which receptor site results in tachycardia, an increased potential for arrhythmias, and an increased
v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6




cardiac output?
v6 v6




a. Beta 1 receptor v6 c. Alpha receptor
v6 v6




b. Beta 2 receptor v6 d. Delta receptor
v6 v 6 v6




ANS: A v 6




Stimulation of the beta-1 receptors results in tachycardia, an increased potential for arrhythmias, and an
v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6




increased cardiac output. In administering drugs to the pulmonary system, stimulation of the beta-1 sites
v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6




is not desired. However, most respiratory pharmacologic agents have some beta-1 stimulatory effect.
v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6




PTS: v 6 1

3. Stimulation of the beta 2 receptors causes v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6




a. peripheral vasoconstriction and mild bronchoconstriction in the lungs. v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6




b. tachycardia, an increased potential for arrhythmias, and an increased cardiac output. v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6




c. bronchodilation.
d. peripheral vasodilation, bradycardia, and decreased cardiac output. v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6




ANS: C v 6




Stimulation of the beta-2 receptors in the lungs causes bronchodilation.
v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6




PTS: v 6 1

4. Acetylcholine stimulates v6 v 6




a. theVagus nerve. v6 v6




b. the adrenergic receptors. v6 v6




c. the sympathetic nervous system.
v6 v6 v6




d. the cholinergic receptors. v6 v6




ANS: D v 6




Acetylcholine stimulates the cholinergic receptors. v6 v6 v6 v6




PTS: v 6 1

5. What immunoglobulin antibody sensitizes the mast cell?
v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6




a. Leukotrienes c. Histamine

, b. IgE d. v 6 Prostaglandins
ANS: B v 6




The IgE (reagin) antibodies sensitize the mast cell. Repeated exposure to the antigen causes the
v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6




degranulation of the mast cell.
v6 v6 v6 v6 v6




PTS: v 6 1

6. Which of the following is caused by histamine release from the mast cells?
v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6




I. Bronchodilation
II. Increased bronchial gland secretion v6 v6 v6




III. Increased amount of mucus present in the airways v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6




a. I and II only v6 c. III only
v6 v6 v6




b. II and III only v6 d. I, II, III
v6 v6 v 6 v 6 v6 v6




ANS: B v 6




Histamine is also a potent bronchoconstrictor. In addition to its bronchoconstrictive activity, histamine
v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6




II) increases bronchial gland secretion, causing III) an increase in the amount of mucus present in
v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6




the airways. Histamine may also have an effect on vascular permeability similar to the effect of-

SRS-A.

PTS: v 6 1

7. A sympathomimetic drug would cause
v6 v6 v6 v6 v6




a. bronchodilation. c. Histamine release. v6




b. bronchoconstriction. d. Vagus nerve stimulation.
v 6 v6 v6




ANS: A v 6




A sympathomimetic drug would cause bronchodilation. Sympathomimetic agents are the drugs most commonly
v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6




used to reverse bronchospasm.
v6 v6 v6 v6




PTS: v 6 1

8. Stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system causes v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6




a. vascular permeability. c. bronchodilation. v6




b. decreased blood pressure. d. bronchoconstriction. v6 v6 v 6




ANS: C v 6




Sympathetic nervous system stimulation causes bronchodilation. v6 v6 v6 v6 v6




PTS: v 6 1

9. Which of the following would NOT cause a bronchospasm or bronchoconstriction?
v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6




a. Leukotrienes c. Histamine
b. Beta 1 receptors d. Prostaglandins
v6 v6 v 6




ANS: B v 6




Beta-1 receptors would not cause a bronchospasm or bronchoconstriction. Leukotrienes are one of
v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6




many chemical mediators released by the mast cells. Leukotrienes cause a direct, strong
v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6




bronchoconstriction. Histamine is also a potent bronchoconstrictor. Prostaglandins cause a strong
v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6 v6




bronchospasm, especially in asthmatic patients.
