An Ion for an Ion
This is the overarching name for an ion has gained an electron.
What is an anion?
This portion of the autonomic nervous system is known by the moniker "rest and relax".
What is the parasympathetic nervous system?
This is the average resting membrane potential, including units of measure.
What is -90 to -70 mV?
Propofol, a commonly utilized general anesthetic induction agent, works by increasing this neurotransmitter mediated inhibitory tone in the central nervous system.
What is gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA)?
Stimulation of this adrenoreceptor will lead to mydriasis.
What are alpha-1 receptors.
These three ions are cations.
What are potassium, magnesium, calcium and sodium?
This neurotransmitter is found in both sympathetic and parasympathetic presynaptic neurons.
What is acetylcholine (Ach)?
In these two phases of the action potential, the cell membrane becomes more negative.
What is repolarization and hyperpolarization?
This neurotransmitter is consider the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the spinal cord and brain.
What is glycine?
Important in pharmacologic management for patients, this human protein favors binding with acidic compounds, whereas this protein favors binding with basic compounds.
What is albumin favors binding with acidic compounds and alpha-1 glycoprotein favors binding with basic compounds.
An ionic bond is characterized by one atom losing this constituent.
What is an electron?
Preganglionic sympathetic receptors are located between these to landmarks of the spinal cord.
What are T1 and L3?
During this phase of the action potential, sodium channels close.
What is repolarization?
N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors are a type of this subgroup of neurotransmitter receptors.
What are glutamate receptors?
What is isoproterenol?
These two anions are critical to the calculation of a patient's anion gap.
What are HCO3- and Cl-?
These five steps (in order) are required for the transition of phenylalanine into epinephrine.
What is:
1. Phenylalanine to L-Tyrosine
2. L-Tyrosine to L-Dopa
3. L-Dopa to Dopamine
4. Dopamine to Norepinephrine
5. Norepinephrine to Epinephrine?
During this phase of an action potential, there is a rapid influx of sodium.
What is depolarization?
This neurotransmitter is metabolized by monoamine oxidase and catechol-O-methyltransferase.
What is norepinephrine?
These two medications work at the adrenoceptor responsible for inhibiting the release of norepinephrine.
What are clonidine and dexmedetomidine?
The anion gap for the following patient would be ?? and is normal/abnormal.
Chemistry panel: Na = 130mEq/L, Cl = 98mEq/L, HCO3- = 2mEq/L.
What is 30 and abnormal indicating a metabolic acidosis?
The sympathetic postganglionic neurons in sweat glands respond to this neurotransmitter.
What is acetylcholine (Ach)?
This ion species would have a negative Nernst potential in the resting state.
What is chloride or bicarbonate?
Located in the chemoreceptor trigger zone, stimulation of this neurotransmitter will lead to nausea and vomitting.
What is serotonin (5-HT)?
Terbutaline, once used as a tocolytic to suppress labor, works at what adrenoceptor to relax uterine smooth muscle?
What are beta-2 receptors?
