| What works by competing for the H1 receptor sites(antagonist) in the mucous membranes and does not prevent release of histamine(but prevents attach.) and reduces symptoms of allergic reaction. | Antihistamines |
| cetrizine (Zyrtec) | antihistamine |
| diphenhydramine HCL (Benadryl) | antihistamine |
| loratadine (Claritin) | antihistamine |
| What is an alpha adrenergic stimulant (agonist) that causes vasoconstriction to the nasal mucosa which decreases nasal congestion? | decongestant |
| oxymetazoline (Afrin) | decongestant |
| phenylephrine (Neo-Synephrine) | decongestant |
| pseudoephedrine (Sudafed) | decongestant |
| What is the process by which gases are exchanged? | respiration |
| What is the process of moving air in and out of the lungs? | ventilation |
| What is blood flow through the lungs called? | perfusion |
| What is the normal respiration rate? | 12-20bpm |
| Drugs that stimulate the flow of bronchial secretions: thins or liquifies the mucous and allows it to be coughed up? | expectorant |
| guafenesin (Robitussin) | expectorant |
| Mucinex | expectorant |
| Medications to control cough | antitussive |
| Opioids (codeine and hydrocodone) | antitussive |

| acetylcysteine (Mucomyst) inhalant, used for CF | mucolytic |
| Relieve acute bronchospasm quickly | bronchodilator |
| Sympathomimetics used to treat acute bronchoconstriction, stimulate adrenergic receptors in sns. | beta-adrenergic agents |
