MULTIPLEICHOICE

1. WhatIis thename of theIreceptor sites that are located in the peripheral vasculature, the heart, bronchial mus
cle, and bronchial blood vessels?
a. BetaI2 receptors c. Alphareceptors
b. Gammareceptors d. Beta 1 receptors
ANS: C
Alpha receptors are locatedintheperipheral vasculature, the heart, bronchial muscle, and bronchial bloo
d vessels.

PTS: 1

2. Whichreceptor site results in tachycardia, anincreasedpotential for arrhythmias, andanincreased car
diac output?
a. BetaI1 receptor c. Alphareceptor
b. BetaI2 receptor d. DeltaIreceptor
ANS: A
Stimulation of the beta-
1 receptors results inItachycardia, an increased potential for arrhythmias, and anincreased cardiac output.
In administeringdrugsItoItheIpulmonarysystem, stimulation of thebeta-
1 sitesIisInot desired. However, most respiratory pharmacologic agents have someIbeta-
1 stimulatory effect.

PTS: 1

3. Stimulationof theIbeta 2 receptors causes
a. peripheralvasoconstrictionandmildbronchoconstriction intheIlungs.
b. tachycardia, anincreased potential forarrhythmias, and an increasedcardiac output.
c. bronchodilation.
d. peripheralvasodilation, bradycardia, anddecreasedcardiacoutput.
ANS: C
Stimulationofthebeta-2 receptorsintheIlungscauses bronchodilation.

PTS: 1

4. Acetylcholine stimulates
a. theVagusInerve.
b. theadrenergicreceptors.
c. thesympatheticnervous system.
d. thecholinergicreceptors.
ANS: D
AcetylcholineIstimulatesthe cholinergicreceptors.

PTS: 1

5. WhatIimmunoglobulin antibodysensitizes the mast cell?
a. Leukotrienes c. Histamine

, b. IgE d. Prostaglandins
ANS: B
The IgE (reagin) antibodies sensitizeItheImast cell. Repeatedexposureto the antigencauses the degranulat
ion of the mast cell.

PTS: 1

6. Which of the followingIis causedIbyhistamine release fromIthe mastIcells?
I. Bronchodilation
II. Increasedbronchial glandsecretion
III. IncreasedamountIof mucus presentIintheIairways
a. IIand II only c. IIIIonly
b. IIIand IIIIonly d. I, II, III
ANS: B
Histamineisalsoapotent bronchoconstrictor. In additiontoitsbronchoconstrictive activity, histamine
II) increases bronchial gland secretion,Icausing III)Ian increase inthe amount of mucus present in
theIairways. Histamine may also haveIanIeffect on vascular permeability similar to the effect of- SRS-
A.

PTS: 1

7. Asympathomimetic drugwould cause
a. bronchodilation. c. Histaminerelease.
b. bronchoconstriction. d. Vagus nerveIstimulation.
ANS: A
AIsympathomimeticdrugIwouldcause bronchodilation. Sympathomimetic agentsareIthedrugsmostIcommonly u
sed toIreverse bronchospasm.

PTS: 1

8. StimulationoftheIsympathetic nervous systemcauses
a. vascularpermeability. c. bronchodilation.
b. decreasedIblood pressure. d. bronchoconstriction.
ANS: C
Sympatheticnervoussystemstimulationcauses bronchodilation.

PTS: 1

9. Which of the followingIwould NOT causea bronchospasmor bronchoconstriction?
a. Leukotrienes c. Histamine
b. BetaI1 receptors d. Prostaglandins
ANS: B
Beta-
1 receptors would not cause a bronchospasm or bronchoconstriction. Leukotrienes areoneIof many c
hemical mediatorsIreleased by the mastIcells. Leukotrienes causeIa direct, strongIbronchoconstriction. His
tamine is also aIpotent bronchoconstrictor. Prostaglandins cause a strongIbronchospasm, especially inIast
hmatic patients.
