ACTUAL Questions and CORRECT
Answers
NicotinicN - CORRECT ANSWER - receptor subtype located in all autonomic nervous
system ganglia and in the adrenal medulla
NicotinicN - CORRECT ANSWER - receptor that stimulates parasympathetic and
sympathetic postganglionic nerves and releases epinephrine form the adrenal medulla
NicotinicM - CORRECT ANSWER - receptor subtype located in the neuromuscular
junction
NicotinicM - CORRECT ANSWER - receptor that causes contraction of skeletal muscle
Muscarinic - CORRECT ANSWER - receptor subtype that is located in the eye, heart,
lungs, bladder, GI Tract, sweat glands, sex organs, and blood vessels
Muscarinic - CORRECT ANSWER - when activated, this receptor subtype causes
coordinated contraction of detrusor and relaxation of the trigone and sphincter which causes
voiding of the bladder
Muscarinic - CORRECT ANSWER - receptor subtype that causes vasodilation of the
blood vessels
Muscarinic - CORRECT ANSWER - receptor that causes constriction of bronchi
,cholinergic - CORRECT ANSWER - NicotinicN, NicotinicM, and Muscarinic are all
_______ receptor subtypes
Alpha1 - CORRECT ANSWER - receptor subtype that causes mydriasis, arteriole
constriction in the skin, viscera, and mucous membranes, ejaculation, contraction of the prostatic
capsule, and contraction of the trigone and bladder sphincter
Alpha2 - CORRECT ANSWER - receptor subtype leads to Inhibition of transmitter release
in presynaptic nerve terminals
Beta1 - CORRECT ANSWER - receptor subtype that leads to increased HR, force of
contraction, speed of AV conduction, and causes the release of renin in the kidneys
Beta2 - CORRECT ANSWER - receptor subtype that causes dilation of arterioles in the
heart, lungs, and skeletal muscles, bronchial dilation, uterine relaxation, glycogenolysis, and
enhanced contraction of skeletal muscles
Dopamine - CORRECT ANSWER - receptor subtype that effects the kidney by dilating its
vasculature
adrenergic - CORRECT ANSWER - alpha1, alpha2, beta1, beta2, and dopamine are all
_____ receptor subtypes
Bethanechol - CORRECT ANSWER - medication used to treat non-obstructive urinary
retention
, Bethanechol - CORRECT ANSWER - medication that's investigational use is to treat
gastroesophageal reflux
Bethanechol - CORRECT ANSWER - medication shouldn't be used with someone who

Bethanechol - CORRECT ANSWER - med that should be taken without food (to avoid
nausea/vomiting), so administered 1 hour before meals or 2 hours after meals
Glaucoma - CORRECT ANSWER - Pilocarpine acts by lowering intraocular pressure in
the eyes which treats ________
Myasthenia gravis - CORRECT ANSWER - a condition that causes DIFFICULTY
SWALLOWING, ptosis, fatigue, and muscle weakmess
Therapeutic uses for neuromuscular blockers - CORRECT ANSWER - -muscle relaxation
during surgery
-facilitation of mechanical ventilation
-adjunct to electroconvulsive therapy
-endotracheal intubation
-diagnosis of myasthenia gravis
Enhance, reduce - CORRECT ANSWER - In pts with electrolyte disturbances, competitve
neuromuscular blockers would be problematic because low levels of K+ can ______ paralysis,
while high levels of K+ can ______ paralysis
