Correct Answer(s)
F. Beta 2
I. AntagonistExplanation
Butoxamine is a drug that acts as an antagonist at the beta 2 adrenergic receptors. This means that it binds to these receptors and blocks their activation by other substances, preventing their effects. Beta 2 receptors are primarily found in the smooth muscles of the bronchioles in the lungs, and their activation leads to relaxation of these muscles, resulting in bronchodilation. By acting as an antagonist at these receptors, butoxamine inhibits this relaxation and therefore has a bronchoconstrictive effect.Rate this question:

I. AntagonistExplanation
Metoprolol is a medication that acts as a beta-1 antagonist. Beta-1 receptors are found primarily in the heart and blocking them reduces the effects of adrenaline and noradrenaline on the heart. This leads to a decrease in heart rate, blood pressure, and cardiac output, making metoprolol commonly used to treat conditions such as hypertension, angina, and heart failure. By acting as an antagonist at the beta-1 receptors, metoprolol competes with and blocks the binding of adrenaline and noradrenaline, thereby reducing their stimulatory effects on the heart.Rate this question:

Muscarine is classified as an agonist direct based on the given options. An agonist direct is a substance that directly activates a receptor and produces a biological response. In this case, muscarine directly activates the M receptor, which is a type of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor. This activation leads to various physiological effects, such as increased glandular secretions, smooth muscle contraction, and decreased heart rate. Therefore, muscarine acts as an agonist direct on the M receptor.Rate this question:

_____causes increased secretion from ciliary epithelium in the eye, as well as, pupil constriction and increased urination.
Correct Answer(s)
Prazosin, Phenoxybenzamine
Phenoxybenzamine, PrazosinExplanation
Prazosin causes increased secretion from ciliary epithelium in the eye, as well as pupil constriction and increased urination. Phenoxybenzamine also causes similar effects on the ciliary epithelium, pupil constriction, and increased urination. Therefore, both drugs can cause these physiological responses.Rate this question:

_____causes increased heart rate, as well as, bronchodilation and urinary retention
Correct Answer(s)
IsoproterenolExplanation
Isoproterenol is a medication that belongs to the class of drugs known as beta-adrenergic agonists. It acts on beta-adrenergic receptors in the body, specifically the beta-1 and beta-2 receptors. Activation of these receptors leads to increased heart rate (positive chronotropic effect), bronchodilation (relaxation of the smooth muscles in the airways), and urinary retention (relaxation of the smooth muscles in the bladder). Therefore, isoproterenol causes these effects by stimulating the beta-adrenergic receptors in the body.Rate this question:

_____ causes decreased heart rate, increased gastric motility, increased gastric secretion and vasodilation
Correct Answer(s)
Muscarine, Ach, Pilocarpine, Bethanochol
Ach, Muscarine, Pilocarpine, Bethanochol
Pilocarpine, Muscarine, Bethanochol, Ach
Bethanochol, Pilocarpine, Ach, MuscarineExplanation
Muscarine, Ach, Pilocarpine, and Bethanochol all belong to a class of drugs known as muscarinic agonists. These drugs activate muscarinic receptors in the body, leading to various physiological effects. Activation of muscarinic receptors in the heart causes a decrease in heart rate. Activation of muscarinic receptors in the gastrointestinal tract leads to increased gastric motility and secretion. Finally, activation of muscarinic receptors in blood vessels causes vasodilation. Therefore, all of the listed drugs can cause these effects.Rate this question:
