NURA 221 ADRENERGIC TEST QUESTIONS WITH CORRECTANSWERS
Adrenergic stimulation gives a similar response to __________ and is therefore
referred to as_____ - ANSWER sympathetic nervous system activation;
sympathomimetic
what are the five main adrenergic receptors? - ANSWER alpha 1, alpha 2, beta 1,
beta 2, Dopaminergic
effects of alpha 1 receptor stimulation (2) - ANSWER 1. profuse, body-wide
vasoconstriction
2. Mydriasis
Primary uses for Alpha 1 stimulants (agonists) - ANSWER Hypotension
Homeostasis (?)
Nasal Decongestion (caused by vasoconsctrion of blood vessels)
Adjunct to local anaesthesia
stimulate mydriasis (for eye exams) or correct miosis
the primary location of alpha 1 receptors - ANSWER peripheral blood vessels
explain stimulating alpha 2 receptors (administering alpha 2 agaonist) causes/ -
ANSWER Peripheral alpha 2 receptor stimulation has minimal
consequences/action
Alpha 2 receptors stimulated within CNS lead to reduction of sympathetic outflow
to heart and vessels, theoretically blocking alpha 1 receptors and leading to
vasodilations within peripheral vessels

(potentiall severe, life threatening)
, Analgesia (pain relief

Primar uses for Beta 2 agonists - ANSWER Asthma
Delay of preterm labor
what is a potential concern with prolonged beta 2 agonist therapy? - ANSWER may
cause very high blood sugar
epinephrine stimulates what receptors? - ANSWER alpha 1, alpha 2, beta 1, beta 2
What is the exception for epinephrine adrenergic activation? - ANSWER Does not
stimulate vasoconstriction in liver and smooth muscles, may actually vasodilate
there instead
