Opioid
This cranial nerve controls the parasympathetic stimulation of receptor sites in the heart, lings, and digestive system throughout the chest and abdomen.
Vagus Nerve, Cranial Nerve X

Automaticity
Verapamil and Diltiazem are considered what type and class of medication?
Class IV Calcium Channel Blockers
Diazepam, Midazolam, and Lorazepam are this kind of medications
Benzodiazepines
This type of medication offsets histamine release during allergic reactions, and reduces stomach acid secretion, protecting against ulcers and GI bleeding
Histamine Receptor Antagonists (H2 blockers)
This medical term refers to low platelet level in the blood
Throbocytopenia
This receptor causes consriction of peripheral small arteries and arterioles, vascular smooth muscle, and bladder and GI sphincters
Alpha 1
This system cause fluid retention and vasoconstriction in response to hypotension or hypoperfusion
Renin-Angiotensin System
This type of medication have immunosuppressant properties, significantly reduce airway inflammation, and improve oxygenation and ventilation
Corticosteroid
This medication is used to treat esophageal varices to decrease blood flow to esophageal blood vessels
Octreotide (Sandostatin)
This medication is responsible for preventing the breakdown of fibrin clots, and has been seen to significantly reduce mortality in trauma patients when administered within 3 hours of the event
Tranexemic Acid
This receptor causes bronchodilation, dilation of arterioles of the heart, lungs, and skeletal muscles, imhibits insulin release, increases release of glucagon, and causes relaxation of the intestines, bladder, and uterus.
