Drugs that bind to specific receptors and produce a drug action are
called _____.
-modulators
-repressors
-antagonists
-agonists - ANSWER - >agonists
Identify a difference between agonists and antagonists.
-Agonists bind to specific receptors to trigger a drug action, while
antagonists bind to specific receptors to block a drug action.
-Agonists bind to receptors and prevent them from being activated,
while antagonists bind to receptors to activate them.
-A typical example of an agonist is naloxone, while a typical example of
an antagonist is morphine.
-Agonists bind to a specific receptor site in the body, while antagonists
can bind to any receptor site in the body. - ANSWER - >Agonists bind to
specific receptors to trigger a drug action, while antagonists bind to
specific receptors to block a drug action.

dose - ANSWER - >Above a certain dosage no further increase in effect
is observed.
