ANSWERS GUARANTEE A+
✔✔Parenteral - ✔✔Bypass, not enternal
✔✔Temporal Lobes - ✔✔Hearing, learning, emotion. Analysis of beliefs, ect...
✔✔Serotonin - ✔✔Inhibitory Neurotransmitter, low 5HT receptors leads to violence,
depression, suicide. Regulates sleep, appetite, emotion and mood. SSRI's are anti-
depressants. Low amounts effect memory, mental learning and REM sleep.
✔✔Percent of people with a SUD that don't have co-occuring disorders? (according to a
SAMHSA study) - ✔✔37
✔✔I.D.U - ✔✔Injection Drug user
✔✔Absesses - ✔✔localized infection
✔✔Septicemia - ✔✔Toxic shock syndrome
✔✔Cotton Fever - ✔✔caused from needle infections. Signs and symptoms appear 22
minutes after injection, includes headaches, chills, nausea, extreme joint and muscle
pain, a sudden onset of dull, sharp, piercing or burning back and kidney pain, tremors,
anxiety, shortness of breath, and tachycardia.
✔✔Endocarditis - ✔✔inflamation of the inside lining of the heart. Caused by needle
infections.
✔✔Embolism - ✔✔An air bubble. Caused by needle use infections.
✔✔What's the fastest route of administration? - ✔✔Smoking, it reaches the brain in 8
seconds. Drugs absorb in any mucus membrane.
✔✔Transdermal - ✔✔a route of administration wherein active ingredients are delivered
across the skin for systemic distribution. Examples include transdermal patches used
for medicine delivery, and transdermal implants used for medical or aesthetic purposes.
✔✔Intramuscular - ✔✔a route of administration, deep in the muscles. Example: the butt
✔✔Subcutaneous - ✔✔skin-popping
✔✔Teratogens - ✔✔a drug or other substance capable of interfering with the
development of a fetus, causing birth defects. Example: Alcohol
, ✔✔Liver - ✔✔Does 500 things. Converts substance to be less active. Can be increased
of decreased by changes in or enzyme systems. Depressants, pesticides, preservatives
all increase liver enzyme functioning. Damage to slows metabolism.
✔✔Half Life - ✔✔A meausre of the time it takes for half the dose to be inactivated or
eliminated by the body. Ex: Alcohol is 1 ounce per hour. Knowing this can predict onset
of withdrawal symptoms.
✔✔Nystagmus - ✔✔Eyes don't track optically

✔✔Cross-tolerance - ✔✔the resistance to one or more effects of a substance because
of tolerance to a pharmacologically similar substance.
Example: a cross-tolerance of some alcoholics to anesthetics.

✔✔What are the 4 types of tolerance? - ✔✔Physical, Behavioral, Cross-tolerance,
Reverse
✔✔Dabs - ✔✔More potent than THC
✔✔Fatty Liver - ✔✔a reversible condition wherein large vacuoles of triglyceride fat
accumulate in liver cells via the process of steatosis. Interferes with food processing.
Can lead to malnutrition.
✔✔Acetylcholine - ✔✔Neurotransmitter, critical for memory, learning, cognitive
functioning, emotional balance and control. Deficiency of can lead to lack of memory,
fewer dreams, increased confusion, lack of emotional control. Aggression.
