QUESTION 1
1. Select the neurotransmitter involved in obsessive-compulsive
disorder (OCD) in children and adolescents based on the common
comorbidity of tic disorders.
A Norepinephrine
B
GABA
.
C
Dopamine
.
Acetylcholine
Answer:
Dopamine
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is linked to defects in the cortico-striatal-thalamic-
cortical (CSTC) circuitry, which may be linked to neurotransmitter dysregulation
throughout this network. Serotonin, dopamine, glutamate, and -aminobutyric acid (GABA)
are the main neurotransmitters throughout the CSTC.
Compulsive behaviors linked to OCD are likely the product of a related dopaminergic
reward system dysfunction. Continuous ventral striatum activation may lead to an
undirected expectation of reward. Anxiety and a desire to fill the gap are caused by
unfulfilled expectations.

Opioid analgesics
.
TCA and SSRI
. antidepressants
Beta-adrenergic
. blockers
D
Mood stabilizers
.
Answer:
Opioids
analgesics
Opioid analgesics are drugs that function on opioid receptors that are used to alleviate
pain. Weak opioid analgesics are often used to describe compound analgesics that
combine acetaminophen with low levels of codeine or tramadol. Opioid analgesics,
which include oxycodone, hydrocodone, and codeine, can be used to relieve mild to
extreme acute pain.
Opioids are medications that are chemically similar to, but more potent than, the body's own
pain relievers (endorphins). They operate by binding to receptors on cells, primarily in the
brain, spinal cord, and gastrointestinal tract.
