benztropine
__ immediately follow depolarization with the sodium
potassium pump in the cell membrane pumping sodium and
potassium ions out of the cell, leaving the inside of the
membrane relatively negative to the outside returning the resting
membrane potential Correct Answers repolarization
__ is an anticholinergic drugs Correct Answers atropine,
benztropine
,__ is made by adrenergic nerves using tyrosine from the diet. it
is packaged in storage vesicles that align on the axon membrane
and is secreted into the synaptic cleft when the nerve is
stimulated Correct Answers norepinephrine
__ is prescribed for absence seizures, myoclonic seizures and
akinetic epilepsy Correct Answers ethosuximide

system because it mostly functions with the person having little
conscious awareness of its activity Correct Answers autonomic
nervous system

__ nerves take information out of the CNS to effector sites; __
nerves are sensory nerves that take information into the CNS
Correct Answers efferent, afferent
__ once called minor tranquilizers, are drugs used to treat
anxiety by depressing the CNS. when given at higher doses,
these drugs may be sedatives or hypnotics Correct Answers
anxiolytics

brain Correct Answers acetylcholine
