🗑
show K+.  
🗑
show Passive electrical conductance.  
🗑
Axonic conduction is active or passive electrical conductance?   show
🗑
Axonic conduction involves what channels?   show
🗑
show Na+-K+ ATPase to restore chemical equilibrium.  
🗑
Where is axonic conduction initiated?   show
🗑
show Myelination, lower resting potential, increasing Na+ channel density, and increasing Axonal diameter.  
🗑
What are the two ways myelination increases conduction rates?   show
🗑
show Ca++ channel stimulation.  
🗑
show Ca++ released from storage in sarcoplasm.  
🗑
show Increased Ca++ leads to biochemical change allowing fusion of vesicles with inner cell membrane.  
🗑
What happens after increased Ca++ leads to biochemical change allowing fusion of vesicles with inner cell membrane.   show
🗑
What happens after Ca++ rapidly removed back into sarcoplasm?   show
🗑
What happens after fused vesicles open to synaptic space, releasing contents into synaptic cleft?   show
🗑
show Transported down axon from cell body.  
🗑
show One quanta.  
🗑
show Estimated at 5,000 – 10,000 molecules.  
🗑
True or false: neurotransmitters are the only substances in vesicles.   show
🗑
What are the excitatory neurotransmitters?   show
🗑
show Gamma Amino Butyric Acid (GABA), and Glycine.  
🗑
The ganglionic blockers were primarily experimental. What were they used for?   show
🗑
D-tubocurarine chloride is derived from what plant?   show
🗑
Why did S. American Indians use curare?   show
🗑
Curare was first used in medicine in 1932 to treat...   show
🗑
show False. It was discovered in the 1940's.  
🗑
show As an aid to mechanical respiration, to prevent trauma during electroconvulsive therapy and as an aid to the diagnosis of myasthenia gravis.  
🗑
What is Gallamine?   show
🗑
How do depolarizing blockers work?   show
🗑
show Short duration.  
🗑
What is Decamethonium?   show
🗑
show It is comprised of a 10 carbon chain separating two tri-methyl amines (Quats).  
🗑
How does the structure of Decamethonium compare to Ganglionic Blockers?   show
🗑
How do non-depolarizing blockers work?   show
🗑
show 3-5, 60.  
🗑
Onset/duration of Cisatracurium?   show
🗑
Onset/duration of Pancuronium?   show
🗑
show 1, 20-60.  
🗑
show 0.5-1, 4-6.  
🗑
Onset/duration of Vecuronium?   show
🗑
show Succinylcholine.  
🗑
What are the CV effects of Succinylcholine, and what causes them?   show
🗑
show Hyperkalemia.  
🗑
How can we reduce Succinylcholine-induced bradycardia?   show
🗑
show Yes, significantly.  
🗑
show Rocuronium.  
🗑
What are the intermediate-acting NMB?   show
🗑
What is the duration of action of the intermediate-acting NMB?   show
🗑
What is the long-acting NMB? What is its duration of action?   show
🗑
Atracurium and Cisatracurium are metabolized by...   show
🗑
show Atracurium and Cisatracurium.  
🗑
show Excite the CNS.  
🗑
show Pancuronium.  
🗑
show Rocuronium and Vecuronium.  
🗑
Succinylcholine has <blank> histamine-releasing properties   show
🗑
Atracurium and Cisatracurium have <blank> histamine-releasing potential; histamine-release is generally dose-related.   show
🗑
Agents with histamine-releasing properties have precautions for use in...   show
🗑
What are some adverse CV effects seen with histamine release?   show
🗑
Agents which lack significant histamine-releasing effects and do not block cardiac muscarinic receptors may be preferred in patients with...   show
🗑
What are the NMB that do not significantly release histamine and do not block cardiac muscarinic receptors?   show
🗑
show Pancuronium.  
🗑
show Muscle paralysis, apnea, dyspnea, or respiratory depression.  
🗑
show Impair neuromuscular function (e.g., myasthenia gravis) or potentiate the pharmacological actions of neuromuscular blockers (e.g., electrolyte imbalance).  
🗑
show Small doses should be used.  
🗑
What are some drugs that can potentiate neuromuscular blockade with the non-depolarizing agents?   show
🗑
show Pancuronium, because it inhibits muscarinic receptors.  
🗑
What conditions can increase Pancuronium's SE of tachycardia?   show
🗑
What are some effects of histamine release?   show
🗑
show An acute myopathy lasting days to weeks.  
🗑
<Blank> and <blank> has been reported with peripheral intravenous administration of non-depolarizing neuromuscular blockers.   show
🗑
MH is initiated by uncontrolled release of <blank> from the <blank> in skeletal muscle.   show
🗑
