| Consists of the brain and spinal cord. This coordinates and controls the activity of other body systems also | Central nervous system |
| Regulates activities of structures that are not under voluntary control such as respiration, circulation, digestion, body temperature, and metabolism | Autonomic nervous system |
| This neurotransmitter has two names. Adrenaline and this | Epinephrine |
| This major neurotransmitter acts on receptors in smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle, and exocrine glands. It is the only neurotransmitter in the somatic nervous system. Anticholinergics block these receptors | Acetylcholine (ACh) |
| The goals of balanced anesthesia | Amnesia, adequate muscle relaxation, adequate ventilation, and pain control |
| The most used preoperative sedatives | Benzodiazepines |
| A rare but serious side effect of anesthesia marked by a sudden and rapid rise in body temperature to 110 or more | Malignant hyperthermia |
| This narcotic is the standard by which all other narcotics are measured | Morphine |
| This inhaled anesthetic is most commonly used in dental procedures because it provides analgesia only and is rapidly eliminated | Nitrous oxide |
| This inhaled anesthetic cannot be used during childbirth because it causes uterine relaxation | Ethrane (enflurane) |
| Drug class used to reverse benzodiazepine and narcotic overdoses | Antagonists |
| Class of drugs used to reverse the effects of neuromuscular blocking agents like succinylcholine | Anticholinesterase agents |
| A short acting local anesthetic is known as this | Ester |
| A longer acting local anesthetic is known as this | Amide |
| All local anesthetics with the exception of this one cause relaxation of vascular smooth muscles | Cocaine |
| The "fifth" vital sign | Pain |
| Pain that occurs when no pain should be felt | Sympathetically mediated |
| This class of drugs can reduce the cough reflex and respiratory drive and can increase mental cloudiness | Narcotics |
| These drugs have the highest potential for abuse and addiction | Schedule-II drugs |
| A physical and emotional reliance on a drug | Dependence |
| A compulsive disorder that leads to the continued use of the drug despite harm to the user | Addiction |
| This narcotic analgesic can be administered IV, orally as a lozenge, sublingually, buccally, or as a patch | Fentanyl |
| The most abused prescription drug | Hydrocodone |
| Prophylactic therapy for migraines includes these classes of drugs | Beta blockers, calcium channel blockers,NSAIDs, estrogen, SSRIs, and tricyclic antidepressants |
| Many physicians are prescribing this in place of Imitrex (sumatriptan) because it has fewer side effects | Aspirin 1000mg and Reglan (metoclopramide) 10mg |
| This drug has a high success rate in treating migraines when paired with an NSAID. Recent evidence suggests though that there is a potential for abuse with this medication | Ultram (tramadol) |
| This nasal spray used to treat migraines is a Schedule IV narcotic | Stadol NS (butorphanol) |
| The generic for Demerol | meperidine |
| The generic for Diprivan | propofol |
| The generic for Percocet | oxycodone/APAP |
| The generic for Dilaudid | hydromorphone |
| The generic for Vicodin | hydrocodone/APAP |
| The generic for Suboxone | buprenorphine/naloxone |
| The generic for Imitrex | sumatriptan |
| The generic for Forane | isoflurane |
| The generic for Duragesic | fentanyl transdermal |
| An opioid analgesic primarily used as an antitussive but is also used for pain. It is converted to morphine in the liver. | Codeine |
