PHT301 FINAL

GI SYSTEM

QuestionAnswer
MAIN USE AND MECHANISM OF ACTION FOR:CHOLINERGIC DRUGS Used for constipation, glaucoma, BPH. MOA: Mimics the action of PSNS AKA PARASYMPATHOMIMETICS
MAIN USE AND MOA FOR ANTICHOLINERGIC DRUGS: Used in tx of diarrhea, overactive bladder, asthma. MOA: AKA parasympatholytics, block the action of acetylcholine
MAIN USE AND MOA FOR ANTACIDS Used in Tx of GERD. MOA: neutralizes gastric hydrochloric acid
MAIN USE AND MOA FOR H-2 BLOCKERS Used in tx of alcers and GERD MOA: Inhibits the interaction of histamine with H-2 Receptors
MAIN USE AND MOA FOR PROTON PUMP INHIBITORS: Used in tx of GERD. MOA: Blocks the final step of acid production by inhibiting the enzyme that causes the exchange between hydrogen and potassium ions within the parietal cells H+(ATP)System
MAIN USE AND MOA FOR ANTI-EMETICS Used in tx of nausea/vomiting (due to chemotherapy, motion sickness, other) MOA: Prevents stimuation of afferent nerves and blocks bringing in information to CRTZ or CTZ (Chemoreceptor Trigger Zone - the vomiting center)to prevent vomiting
MAIN USE AND MOA FOR EMETICS Used to remove poisons not yet digested by system MOA: Induces vomiting by triggering CTZ and irritating the lining of stomach
MAIN USE AND MOA FOR ANTIDIARRHEALS Used to tx acute or chronic diarrhea. MOA: Decreases intestinal motility and/or remove intestinal irritant
MAIN USE AND MOA FOR LAXATIVES Used to tx constipation. MOA: Stimulates defecation without straining, stress or pain

Antihistamines CAN be used to reat nausea and vomiting TRUE
The pancreas secretes both _________ and _________. insulin, glucagon
What do the hormones insulin and glucagon do? Insulin lowers blood sugar, glucagon raises blood sugar.
What cells of the pancreas secrete insulin and glucagon? Insulin from Beta, Glucagon from Alpha
What are som common symptoms of Diabetes? *frequent urination (polyuria), *excessive thirst (polydipsia), *exaggerated hunger (polyphagia), also unusual weight loss, lack of energy and frequent infections
The hormone _____________ promotes synthesis and retention of proteins for muscle and bone. Testosterone
Six main parts of the GI System:** Mouth, pharnyx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine
_____________ provide immediate energy and are the most readily available sources of food energy. Carbohydrates
Antacid + Gastric Acid ----> **** Neutral Salt + Water + Carbon dioxide
_________ is necessary to make and repair body cells, tissue, and muscle. Protein
How to Proton Pump Inhibitors work? Inhibits the enzyme that causes the exchange between hydrogen & potassium ions in parietal cells blocking final step of acid production
The "master gland" of the endocrine system is the ____________ Pituitary
The thyroid-stimulating factor (TSH)stimulates the thyroid to release ___________________ T3, T4, and Calcitonin
What is the target organ for prolactin? Mammary Glands

Hypothalamus Sends information to Pituitary Gland regarding body statis. Produces Releasing & Inhibiting Factors, oxytocin and ADH (anti-diuretic)hormones
Pituitary Gland Master gland is stimulated by hormones produced in Hypothalamus. Anterior Pit produces tropic hormones TSH, FSH, LH, PROLACTIN, GH & ACTH. Stores Oxytocin and ADH (Anti-Diuretic)in posterior pit.
