Rau’s Respiratory Care Pharmacology 11th Edition
TEST BANK by Douglas S. Gardenhire, Verified
Chapters 1 - 23,
What are receptor sites? - ANSWER they are found on airway smooth muscle,
bronchial epithelium and pulmonary, & bronchial blood vessels
Anticholinergic - ANSWER a drug BLOCKING a receptor
Adrenergic - ANSWER a drug STIMULATING a receptor
Sympatholytic - ANSWER a drug blocking or inhibiting the effects of the sympatric
nervous system
Parasympatholytic - ANSWER a drug blocking or inhibiting the parasympatholytic
nervous system (blocking acetylcholine)
Sympathomimetic - ANSWER a drug causing stimulation of the sympatric nervous
system (produces adrenergic effect)
Cholinergic - ANSWER cells that respond when stimulated by the neurotransmitter
(acetylcholine)
what is the response if the adrenergic receptor site is stimulated? - ANSWER
broncho dilation
What is the neurotransmitter that acts on the parasympathic receptor? response?
end results? - ANSWER releases a parasympathic axon is acetylcholine and it
causes cholinergic response
broncho constriction
what is the neurotransmitter that acts on the sympatric receptor? response? end
results? - ANSWER released a sympatric axion is epinephrine (adrenalin) and it
causes an adrenergic response
broncho dilation
what causes degranulation of mast cells? - ANSWER repeated exposure to the
antigen
what are the chemical mediators that are released when mast cells degranulation? -
ANSWER histamine, heparin, and SRS-A
Histamine - ANSWER increased bronchial gland secretion causing increased
amount of mucous in the airways
, SRS-A - ANSWER direct strong bronchoconstriction and increased permeability
causing edema
what is a muscannic effect? - ANSWER vagal stimulation causes the release of
acetylcholine-cholinergic effect
muscannic system- primarily responsible for bronchospasms in lung
what types of receptors are found in the lungs? - ANSWER sympatric (adrenergic) &
parasympathetic (cholinergic)
Hypersensitivity - ANSWER an allergic or immune medicated reaction to a lung
Tolerance - ANSWER a decreasing intensity of response seen over time
Tachyphylaxis - ANSWER a rapid decrease in responsiveness to a drug
ALPHA - what is the response if the following adrenergic receptors sites are
stimulated by a drug? - ANSWER peripheral vasoconstriction (vasonconstricts
vessels in the upper airway to treat stridor)
mild bronchoconstriction
Agonist - ANSWER drug that stimulates a receptor
Antagonist - ANSWER drugs that block or inhibit a receptor
Pharmacy - ANSWER the preparation and dispensing of drugs
Drug - ANSWER any chemicals that alters the organism functions or processes
Toxicology - ANSWER the study of toxic substances and their pharmacological
actions including antidotes and poison control
chemical name - ANSWER name indicating the drugs chemical structures
generic name - ANSWER name assigned to a chemical by the (USAN) counsil
when the chemical appears to have therapeutic use and manufacturer wants to
market the drug
trade name - ANSWER brand of proprietary name given by a particular
manufacturer
list the sources where drug information can be found: - ANSWER -US
Pharmacopeia National Formulary (USP-NF)
-Physicians Desk Reference (PDR)
-Drug Facts & Comparisons
