Chapter 16, Problem 5TYC
Summary Introduction
To write:
The atropine opposes the antidiarrheal effects of Lomotil. The pupils would be dilated or constricted by atropine poisoning. Atropine poisoning affects on the moist or dry skin. Atropine poisoning effect on heart rate elevated or depressed. Atropine poisoning effect on the bladder to retain urine or void uncontrollably.
Introduction:
Lomotil contains a combination of two drugs that are diphenoxylate and atropine. It is helpful in curing acute diarrhea. Diphenoxylate aids in curing diarrhea by reducing the intestinal movements.

Students have asked these similar questions
In atropine poisoning, would you expect the pupils to be dilated or constricted? The skin to be moist or dry? The heart rate to be elevated or depressed? The bladder to retain urine or void uncontrollably?
Discuss the concept of termination of neurotransmitter action by comparing the mechanisms
by which acetylcholine and nitric oxide's actions are terminated.
(a) Name the three primary mediators of purinergic receptors.
(b) Which one of these mediators is sometimes used to treat supraventricular tachycardia?
(c) Explain why the drug in (b) is considered safer than verapamil in the treatment of
supraventricular tachycardia?
When the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) binds the acetylcholine receptor (a GPCR) on muscle cells, it causes them to contract. ZIGGY, a chemical analog of ACh, also binds to the same acetylcholine receptor on muscle cells, but instead causes the muscle cells to relax. For this reason, it is sometimes prescribed as a muscle relaxer. Explain in 3-4 sentences how ZIGGY could cause muscle relaxation.
How can both ZIGGY and ACh bind the same GPCR? And then how can they have different effects on the cells, despite binding to the same receptor on the same cells?

- Organophosphate poisoning is a result of excess acetylcholine at different nerves and receptors in the body because acetylcholinesterase is blocked. Please provide rational to explain how the binding of organophosphate with serine in the acetylcholinesterase enzyme leads to excess accumulation of acetylcholine.arrow_forwardExplain how inhibition can be produced by (a) muscarinic ACh receptors in the heart; and (b) GABAreceptors in neurons of the CNS.arrow_forwardAtropine (I) and Ipratropium bromide (II) are both muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonists.

- Malathion is an insecticide commonly used in the horticultural industry. Many homeowners apply this chemical to their trees to rid them of infestation by aphids or other insects. Malathion is classified as an organophosphate insecticide. Exposure to malathion is very dangerous to humans and animals because it acts as an irreversible inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase.

The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor is a pentamer containing four types of subunits, azßys. Place the events in the correct order, from the release of acetylcholine from a neuron to receptor resensitization: -excited presynaptic neuron releases acetylcholine -acetylcholine diffuses across synaptic cleft or neuromuscular junction -acetylcholine is released from the binding sites -two acetylcholine bind to a receptor; the gate opens -small cations pass through the open pore of the receptor -the plasma membrane of the target cell is depolarized -two acetylcholine are tightly bound to a receptor; the gate is closed -one acetylcholine binds to a receptor; the gate is closed.arrow_forward
