TEST BANK VERIFIED QUESTIONS AND
SOLUTIONS PACK
●● What is the measurement of anesthetic dosing?
Answer: Minimum alveolar concentration
●● How is recovery from IV anesthesia described?
Answer: Terms of half-time
●● What is pharmacology?
Answer: The study of processes by which a drug produces one or more
measured physio responses.
●● What is a receptor?
Answer: Protein that binds to a chemical or drug.
Coupling leads to a chain of events
●● What is sensitivity?
Answer: Drug response occurs from a low concentration
, ●● What is selectivity?
Answer: Structurally similar chemicals
●● What is specificity?
Answer: Response from a set of receptors is always the same r/t the cells
themselves determining the response.
●● What are the type of bonds formed b/w drugs and receptors
Answer: 1. van der Waals
2. Hydrophobic
3. Hydrogen
4. Ionic (complete transfer of electron - NaCl)
5. Covalent (share electron pairs - CO2)
●● Where is the perceived site of IV anesthetics?
Answer: GABAa by causing influx of Cl- ions to inhibit signal
transduction.
**Except ketamine - different MOA.
●● What two forces assist in aligning drugs with their receptors?
Answer: 1. van der Waals forces
2. Ionic bonding
