Textbook Question
Chapter 14, Problem 2AYKA
A patient, Dr. Young, has both asthma and high blood pressure. Her physician prescribed the drug propranolol to treat her hypertension; this drug blocks all types of β-adrenergic receptors. She also takes the drug albuterol for asthma, which activates β2 receptors on bronchial smooth muscle. Will the pairing of these two drugs cause problems for Dr. Young? Explain.

Sympathetic stimulation to lung tissue
A. Causes activation of beta2 receptors which contract smooth muscles of airways.
B. Causes activation of beta1 receptors which relax smooth muscles of airways
C. Causes activation of beta2 receptors which relax smooth muscles of airways.
D. Causes activation of beta1 receptors which contract smooth muscles of airways
Explain the therapeutic effects of albuterol, a beta-adrenergic agonist taken (by inhalation) for asthma. Would you expect this drug to have any side effects? How might one design a better drug that did not have these effects?

Your roommate has a severe peanut allergy. When exposed to peanuts, their lungs close up. How does an epi-pen prevent this from happening?
A. Epinephrine will antagonize the muscarinic receptors in the lungs, preventing bronchoconstriction
B. Epinephrine will antagonize the adrenergic receptors in the lungs, stimulating bronchodilaton.
C. Epinephrine will agonize the adrenergic receptors in the lungs, causing bronchodilation.
D. Epinephrine will agonize the muscarinic receptors in the lungs preventing bronchoconstriction.

Overabundance of glutamate at the NMDA receptor may be a precursor to DA dysfunction and may explain increases in mesolimbic DA and decreases in PFC function. b.) Insufficient glutamate at the NMDA receptor may be a precursor to DA dysfunction and may explain increases in mesolimbic DA and decreases in PFC function. c.) NMDA receptors have indirect excitatory effects on of midbrain mesolimbic DA neurons that project to limbic regions. d.) Schizophrenic symptoms are due to increased DA function in mesocortical neurons along with reduced DA function in mesolimbic dopaminergic neurons.arrow_forwardWhich statement about nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) is true? a. Each nAChR is composed of seven different protein subunits. b. They are ionotropic receptors and conduct Na+ and Ca2+ ions across the cell membrane causing depolarization and a fast excitatory response. c. They are ionotropic receptors and conduct K+ ions across the cell membrane, causing depolarization and a fast excitatory response. d. They are found in all areas of the nervous system except the brain.arrow_forward

Release of noradrenaline at a parasympathetic ganglion causes nicotinic acetylcholine receptor activation in the post-ganglionic neuron. Release of acetylcholine at a parasympathetic ganglion causes nicotinic acetylcholine receptor activation in the post-ganglionic neuron. Release of acetylcholine at a parasympathetic ganglion causes muscarinic acetylcholine receptor activation in the post-ganglionic neuron. Release of neurotransmitter at a parasympathetic ganglion leads to decreased generation and release of the NANC transmitter, nitric oxide.arrow_forwardWhat is the direct effect (prior to any reflex compensation) of administeringintravenously a selective beta 1 receptor agonist?A)Increased heart rate, stroke volume and total peripheral resistance.B)Increased total peripheral resistance and renin secretion.C)Increased heart rate and stroke volume.D) Increased total peripheral resistance and decreased renin secretion.E) Decreased renin secretion, total peripheral resistance and heart rate.arrow_forward
