CEN - Pharmacology Review Exam
Questions And Answers Latest Update 2025
Sympathetic response -
correct answer ✅temporarily shuts down processes that might
slow a person down, such as food digestion or urine production.
This response also speeds up processes that allow for bursts of
energy, such as increased heart rate, increased blood pressure,
increased blood to the brain, and rapid glycogen hydrolysis for
muscle energy. In addition, the bronchial tubes will become dilated,
or widened, in preparation for a greater oxygen requirement.
Sympathetic blockers -
correct answer ✅class of drugs that prevent the stimulation of the
adrenergic receptors responsible for increased cardiac contraction.
Also known as beta blockers.
Anticoagulants: heparin, enoxaprin (Lovenox), daalteparin
(Fragmin) -
correct answer ✅treat thrombolytic disease, pulmonary emboli,
MI, DVT, after coronary artery bypass. (-parin) heparin derivatives
Fibrinolytics: streptokinase, urokinase, t-PA, alteplase, reteplase -
correct answer ✅a normal body process that keeps naturally
occurring blood clots from growing and causing problems.,

Questions And Answers Latest Update 2025
Alkaline agents -
correct answer ✅Alkaline agents are used to balance the acids of
our body and to strengthen the effect of cleaning solutions
Diuretics -
correct answer ✅medications administered to increase urine
secretion in order to rid the body of excess water and salt, helps
with edema.
Natriuretic peptides -
correct answer ✅released by cardiac muscle cells in response to
abnormal stretching of the heart walls due to elevated blood
pressure or increased blood volume;
reduces thirst and blocks release of ADH/Aldosterone;
resulting diuresis lowers both blood pressure and plasma volume.
platelet inhibitors -
correct answer ✅a drug that inhibits platelet aggregation
(clumping) to prevent clots
