EXAM 2026 TEST BANK VERIFIED GRADED A+
Describe how drugs affect the nervous system
Drugs affect the nervous system by acting at the synaptic junctions to promote
neurotransmitter's activity, mimic their actions, or block them from acting.
Where in the body is erythropoietin produced?
Kidneys
What drug may be used to treat the anemia associated with chronic renal failure?
Epogen (erythropoietin)
_____ digest fibrin threats and other clotting products to cause clot lysis and the release of
fibrin degradation products into the circulation.
Plasmin
Which anticoagulant may be used to treat DIC?
Heparin
why should heparin not be used as an anticoagulant when blood is collected for the
performance of a differential count?
,It may distort white blood cells making identification difficult
How does EDTA work as an anticoagulant?
It chelates (binds with) calcium
What are some potential adverse effects associated with the effects of antineoplastic
drugs?
naphylactic reactions, immunosuppression, vomiting, diarrhea, hair loss, cystitis, pain
associated with administration, and tissue damage from extravasation

What six factors may determine an animal's response to immunization?
health/age, type of vaccine administered, route of administration, concurrent incubation of
infectious disease, exposure to an infectious disease before immunity is reached, dug
therapy.
