for ECPI Pharmacology Exam 1. It covers key topics such as drug classifications,
mechanisms of action, dosage calculations, side effects, and safe medication
administration. Perfect for nursing and health science students at ECPI aiming to score an
A+ on their first pharmacology exam.
1. receptor subtype located in all autonomic nervous system ganglia and in
the adrenal medulla: NicotinicN
2. receptor that stimulates parasympathetic and sympathetic
postganglionic nerves and releases epinephrine form the adrenal
medulla: NicotinicN
3. receptor subtype located in the neuromuscular junction: NicotinicM
4. receptor that causes contraction of skeletal muscle: NicotinicM
5. receptor subtype that targets parasympathetic organs: Muscarinic
6. receptor subtype that is located in the eye, heart, lungs, bladder, GI
Tract, sweat glands, sex organs, and blood vessels: Muscarinic
, .
7. when activated, this receptor subtype causes coordinated contraction of
detrusor and relaxation of the trigone and sphincter which causes
voiding of the bladder: Muscarinic
8. receptor subtype that causes vasodilation of the blood vessels:
Muscarinic
9. receptor that causes constriction of bronchi: Muscarinic
10. NicotinicN, NicotinicM, and Muscarinic are all _______ receptor
subtypes: cholinergic
11. decreased pupil diameter: miosis
12. increased pupil size: mydriasis
13. receptor subtype that causes mydriasis, arteriole constriction in the
skin, viscera, and mucous membranes, ejaculation, contraction of the
prostatic capsule, and contraction of the trigone and bladder sphincter:
Alpha1
14. receptor subtype leads to Inhibition of transmitter release in presynaptic
nerve terminals: Alpha2
15. receptor subtype that leads to increased HR, force of contraction, speed
of AV conduction, and causes the release of renin in the kidneys: Beta1
16. receptor subtype that causes dilation of arterioles in the heart, lungs,
and skeletal muscles, bronchial dilation, uterine relaxation,
glycogenolysis, and enhanced contraction of skeletal muscles: Beta2
17. receptor subtype that effects the kidney by dilating its vasculature: -
Dopamine
18. alpha1, alpha2, beta1, beta2, and dopamine are all _____ receptor
subtypes: adrenergic
