Denning [Date] [Course title]
, acetonemia (ketosis) - Answer: metabolic disease occurring in early lactation in high-producing cows if
the intake of carbs is not sufficient to meet the output of blood sugar
acetylcholine - Answer: neurotransmitter which stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system
acidosis - Answer: a pathologic condition resulting from an accumulation of acid or depletion of the
alkaline reserve in the blood and bpdy tissues
active transport - Answer: movement of lipid-soluble substance from an area of low concentration to
an area of high concentration requiring the expenditure of energy and participation of enzymes
adrenergic - Answer: reffering to compounds whih activate the sympathetic nervous system
adrenergic agents - Answer: compunds which produce activities at receptors where epinepherine or
norepinephrine is the neurotransmitter
adrenergeic blocking agents - Answer: interrupts activity within the sympathetic nervous system
affinity - Answer: the special attraction of a frug molecule for a receptor
agonist - Answer: a drug with both affinity and efficacy which will produce a drug action when it
reaches a receptor
allergen - Answer: a substance capable of inducing an allergic response
alpha blocker - Answer: an agent which blocks the sympathetic activity produced at an alpha receptor
alpha receptor - Answer: a receptor which when stimuated causes an excitatory response (except in GI
tract)
