& Answers {Grade A} 100% Correct
What is name of pathway that takes angiotensin and converts it to angiotensin II?
Include names of enzymes involved - correct answer renin angiotensin aldosterone
mechanism.
Renin, angiotensin converting enzyme
Match drug class to primary site of action - correct answer alpha agonist = brain
Beta blockers = heart
Calcium channel blockers = blood vessel
Diuretics = kidney
Select side effects specific to ACE inhibitors and not seen in arbs, select all that apply
- correct answer dry cough, angioedema
True/false
, Angina is defined as chest pain that occurs when the heart's supply of blood carrying
oxygen is insufficient to meet demands of heart - correct answer true
Select class of drugs that is not commonly used to treat angina - correct answer ACE-
inhibitors
True/false
Nitrates can be taken in an acute attack but cannot be taken on daily basis to prevent
attacks - correct answer false
Fill in blanks regarding nitrates
They work by relaxing vascular smooth tissue. This happens when nitrate ions are
converted to nitric oxide, which is potent ___A____ . This leads to ____B____ in blood
volume returned to heart which reduced workload of the heart. Meaning that less
oxygen is required by heart leading to relief from pain. - correct answer A vasodilator
B decrease
