Correct Answer
G. Expectorants & mucolyticsExplanation
Expectorants and mucolytics are drugs that work by lowering the viscosity of mucus and facilitating its removal. Expectorants help to increase the production of respiratory tract fluids, which in turn helps to thin and loosen the mucus. Mucolytics, on the other hand, directly break down the chemical bonds within the mucus, making it less sticky and easier to cough up. Both of these drugs can be used to help clear the airways in conditions such as bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and cystic fibrosis.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
G. Expectorants & mucolyticsExplanation
Expectorants and mucolytics are drugs that work by enhancing the reflex outflow of respiratory tract fluids. They do this by irritating the gastric mucosa, which in turn stimulates the production of respiratory tract fluids. This increased production of fluids helps to thin and loosen mucus, making it easier to cough up and clear from the airways. By enhancing the reflex outflow of respiratory tract fluids, expectorants and mucolytics can help to relieve congestion and promote easier breathing.Rate this question:

B. Bundle of HisExplanation
The Bundle of His, also known as the atrioventricular bundle, is responsible for conducting electrical impulses from the atrioventricular node to the ventricles. It is located in the septum that divides the left and right bundles beneath the endocardium.

Atrioventricular node
- D.
Purkinje Fibers
Correct Answer
A. Sinoatrial nodeExplanation
The sinoatrial (SA) node, located in the right atrium of the heart, is responsible for initiating electrical impulses that regulate the heart's rhythm. It acts as the natural pacemaker of the heart, generating regular impulses that cause the atria to contract and pump blood into the ventricles. These impulses then travel through the atrioventricular (AV) node, the Bundle of His, and the Purkinje fibers to coordinate the contraction of the ventricles, resulting in an efficient pumping action.Rate this question:

D. Purkinje FibersExplanation
Purkinje fibers are specialized cardiac muscle fibers that are located past the septum. These fibers branch out and become continuous with cardiac muscle fibers, allowing them to innervate and stimulate the rest of the heart. This enables coordinated and synchronized contractions of the heart, ensuring efficient pumping of blood throughout the body.Rate this question:

A. Classical ( stable angina)Explanation
Classical (stable angina) is the most common form of angina and typically occurs during exertion, emotional stress, or indigestion due to excessive eating. It can be relieved by nitroglycerin and rest. This type of angina is characterized by predictable and consistent symptoms, which occur when the heart muscle is not receiving enough blood and oxygen.Rate this question:

Unstable angina
Correct Answer
C. Unstable anginaExplanation
Unstable angina is the correct answer because it is characterized by chest pain that occurs at rest and is not relieved by rest or nitroglycerine. This type of angina is caused by significant coronary artery disease (CAD) and is often a precursor to a myocardial infarction (MI).Rate this question:

- A.
Classical ( stable angina)
- B.
Variant or vasospastic Angina
- C.
Unstable angina
Correct Answer
B. Variant or vasospastic AnginaExplanation
Variant or vasospastic angina is the correct answer because it is characterized by arterial spasms in the coronary arteries, which can lead to a temporary obstruction of blood flow to the heart. This type of angina often occurs at rest rather than during exertion, as mentioned in the explanation. Classical (stable) angina is typically triggered by physical exertion and is caused by a fixed obstruction in a coronary artery. Unstable angina is characterized by chest pain that occurs at rest or with minimal exertion and is considered a medical emergency.Rate this question:

What are the reasons for an acute MI?
- A.
High consumption of fatty foods
- B.
Sendentary lifestyle
- C.
Increased oxygen than heart cant provide
- D.
Decreased flow of oxygen rich blood
Correct Answer(s)
A. High consumption of fatty foods
B. Sendentary lifestyle
C. Increased oxygen than heart cant provide
D. Decreased flow of oxygen rich bloodExplanation
The given answer lists several possible reasons for an acute MI (Myocardial Infarction). High consumption of fatty foods can lead to the buildup of plaque in the arteries, which can eventually block blood flow to the heart. A sedentary lifestyle can contribute to obesity and high blood pressure, both of which are risk factors for MI. Increased oxygen demand that the heart cannot provide may occur during strenuous physical activity or in conditions like hyperthyroidism. Decreased flow of oxygen-rich blood can result from atherosclerosis or blood clot formation.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. InotrophyExplanation
Inotrophy refers to the force of muscle contraction. It is a term used to describe the strength or intensity of the contraction of the heart or other muscles. Inotropy is influenced by factors such as calcium levels in the muscle cells and the sensitivity of the muscle fibers to stimulation. An increase in inotropy leads to a stronger contraction, while a decrease in inotropy results in a weaker contraction. Therefore, inotrophy is the correct answer as it directly relates to the force of muscle contraction.Rate this question:

For treatment of MI, which one of these drugs decreases heart rate by the sympathetic nervous system and prevents development of angina pectoris. Reduces cardiac output by blocking beta and e[inepherine
- A.
Calcium Channel blockers
- B.
Beta Adrenergic blockers
- C.
Nitroglycerin
- D.
Morphine sulfate
- E.
IV drug
Correct Answer
B. Beta Adrenergic blockersExplanation
Beta adrenergic blockers decrease heart rate by blocking the action of adrenaline (epinephrine) on beta-adrenergic receptors in the heart. By blocking these receptors, beta blockers reduce the effects of sympathetic nervous system stimulation on the heart, resulting in a decrease in heart rate. This helps to prevent the development of angina pectoris, a condition characterized by chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart. Additionally, beta blockers also reduce cardiac output by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors in the heart, which further helps in the treatment of myocardial infarction (MI). Therefore, beta adrenergic blockers are an effective treatment option for MI.Rate this question:

For treatment of MI, which one of these drugs decreases the heart workload by dialating blood vessels, increasing carfiac oxygen demand in stable angina. Alleviates chest pain by improving blood flow
- A.
Calcium Channel blockers
- B.
Beta Adrenergic blockers
- C.
Nitroglycerin
- D.
Morphine sulfate
- E.
IV drug
Correct Answer
C. NitroglycerinExplanation
Nitroglycerin is the correct answer because it is a vasodilator that works by dilating blood vessels, which reduces the workload on the heart. By increasing blood flow, it improves oxygen supply to the heart and alleviates chest pain in stable angina. Calcium channel blockers and beta adrenergic blockers also reduce the heart workload, but they do not specifically improve blood flow like nitroglycerin. Morphine sulfate is used for pain relief in MI but does not directly affect heart workload or blood flow.
