Cholinergic Agents

TermDefinition
which receptors are stimulated by cholinergic agents? acetylcholine
diagnose myasthenia gravis, reduce intraocular pressure (glaucoma), stimulate GI motility, treat urinary retention, control vomiting, antidote for neuromuscular blockers are clinical uses for cholingeric agents
Acetylcholine, Carbamylcholine, Bethanechol, Pilocarpine (Isopto Carpine), Metoclopramide (Reglan) are what type of cholinergics direct-acting cholinergics
which cholinergic agent is seldom used due to rapid breakdown Acetylcholine
which cholinergic agent is used for GI atony and stimulate uterine contractions (swine) Carbamylcholine
which cholinergic agent is used for GI and urinary atony Bethanechol
which cholinergic agent is used for glaucoma (reduce IOP) and keratoconjunctivitis sicca Pilocarpine (Isopto Carpine)
which cholinergic agent is used for vomiting control and gastric emptying Metoclopramide (Reglan)
Edrophonium, Neostigmine (Prostigmine),Physostigmine (Antilirium), Organophosphates, Demecarium (Humorsol), Pyridostigmine (Mestinon) are what type of cholinergics indirect-acting cholinergics
which cholinergic agent is used for myasthenia gravis diagnosis (presumptive) Edrophonium
which cholinergic agent is used for urinary retenion, GI atony, and an antidote for neuromuscular blockers Neostigmine (Prostigmine)
which cholinergic agent is similarly used to neostigmine Physostigmine (Antilirium)
which cholinergic agent is used for insecticide dips (toxicity risk if used inappropriately) Organophosphates
which cholinergic agent is used for glaucoma (preventive management) Demecarium (Humorsol)
which cholinergic agent is used for myasthenia gravis treatment Pyridostigmine (Mestinon)
bradycardia, hypotension, heart block, lacrimation, diarrhea, vomiting, increased intestinal activity (rupture risk), increased bronchial secretions are adverse effects of which agents cholinergics
cholinergic agents are also referred as parasympathomimetics
cholinergic blocking agents block acetylcholine at which receptors muscarinic receptors
dry secretions, prevent bradycardia (pre-anesthesia), pupil dilation (ophthalmic exams), relief of ciliary spasm, sinus bradycardia, diarrhea and vomiting (decrease GI motility) are clinical uses for cholinergic blocking agents
cholinergic blocking agents are also referred as anticholinergics/parasympatholytics
Atropine, Methscopolamine (Biosol-M), Glycopyrrolate, Aminopentamide, Propantheline, Pralidoxime (Protopam, 2-PAM) are dosage froms of which agent cholinergic blocking
which cholinergic blocking agent is used for pre-anesthetic (dry secretions, prevent bradycardia), counteract organophosphate poisoning, pupil dilation, control ciliary spasms, treat sinus bradycardia, slow hypermotile gut Atropine
which cholinergic blocking agent is used for diarrhea control Methscopolamine (Biosol-M)
which cholinergic blocking agent has longer duration, a pre-anesthetic, and is similar to atropine Glycopyrrolate
which cholinergic blocking agent is used for vomiting and diarrhea control (dogs/cats) Aminopentamide
which cholinergic blocking agent is used for diarrhea, urinary incontinence, bradycardia, reduce colonic peristalsis (horses) Propantheline
which cholinergic blocking agent is used for cholinesterase reactivator, antidote for organophosphate intoxication Pralidoxime (Protopam, 2-PAM)
what concentrations does atropine come in small-animal and large-animal
dose-related, drowsiness, disorientation, tachycardia, photophobia, constipation, anxiety, burning at injection site are adverse effects of which agents cholinergic blocking agents

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
