CORRECT ANSWERS LATEST UPDATE
What type of vasodilator is nifedipine?
Ca++ channel blocker
_____________ is the prototype dihydropyridine Ca2+ channel blocker.
Nifedipine
Amlodipine is a dihydropyridine Ca2+ channel blocker that blocks
voltage dependent L-type Ca2+ channels
________________ are a class of Ca2+ channel blockers that preferentially exert
their effects on vascular smooth muscle.
Dihydropyridines
Which is the oral complication of nifedipine?
gingival hyperplasia
Which dihydropyridine Ca channel blocker is similar to nitrates in effect?
Nifedipine
________________ ducts are lined with alveoli, contain very little smooth muscle,
and do not contain cilia.
alveolar
(Sympathetic/Parasympathetic) adrenergic neurons activate beta-2 receptors in
bronchial smooth muscle which leads to relaxation of the airways.
sympathetic
, The (conducting/respiratory) zone consists of respiratory bronchioles, alveolar
ducts, and alveolar sacs.
respiratory
Exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the pulmonary circulation and
the lung air space occurs at the level of the
alveoli
What is the MOA of Furosemide (loop diuretics)?
Inhibition of Na-K-2Cl cotransporter at the thick ascending loop of Henle
What is the common suffix for Angiotensin-II receptor blockers?
-sartan
The difference between angiotensin II receptor antagonists and angiotensin-
converting enzyme inhibitors is that the former does not increase ___________
bradykinin
What is the MOA of Enalapril?
ACE inhibition
____________ is an ACE inhibitor that is administered as a prodrug.
Enalapril
Captopril, enalapril, and _______________ are ACE inhibitors that decrease
angiotensin II levels and subsequently decrease GFR by preventing the
constriction of efferent arterioles.
lisinopril
What is the MOA of Lisinopril?
ACE inhibitor
