🗑
Distribution is   how the body moves the medication from the bloodstream to tissues or organs to exert its effect.  
🗑
Solubility is   the ability of a substance to dissolve in another substance.  
🗑
fat soluble medications tend to be eliminated by the   liver  
🗑
water soluble molecules tend to be eliminated by the   kidneys  
🗑
The volume of distribution (Vd)   gives an idea of where medications go in the body  
🗑
pH stands for   "power of hydrogen"  
🗑
Weak acids and weak bases are considered   "salts" of substances  
🗑
Generic names ending in "ine" are   bases  
🗑
Metabolism is   the body's attempt to make medication more polar so the medication can be easily eliminated.  
🗑
Excretion is   how the body eliminates a medication  
🗑
In ?, a constant amount of drug is eliminated over time   zero order kinetics  
🗑
almost all medications are eliminated by which type of kinetics   first order kinetics  
🗑
The half-life of a drug is   the amount of time it takes for half of the original medication to be eliminated  
🗑
When two medications work together, the medications are   synergistic  
🗑
When two medications inhibit each other, the medications are   antagonistic  
🗑
drug-drug interactions   two drugs are mixed together to create another effect  
🗑
drug-food interactions   drugs are affected by consuming certain food or drink such as grapefruit juice  
🗑
drug-disease interactions   drug can be harmful due to a medical condition  
🗑
Pharmacokinetic interactions occur when   one drug affects the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of the other drug.  
🗑
Pharmacodynamic interactions occur when   one drug adds to or neutralizes the other drug's effect without affecting the pharmacokinetics of the other drug.  
🗑
? neutralizes warfarin and is the antidote for warfarin overdose   Vitamin K  
🗑
Toxicology is   the study of poisons and how they affect the body  
🗑
antidote for APAP, Tylenol overdose is   Acetylcysteine (Acetadote, Mucomyst)  
🗑
antidote for Alcohol (ethanol) or fomepizole   Methanol or ethylene glycol  
🗑
antidote for Anticholinergics is   Physostigmine (Antilirium)  
🗑
antidote for Benzodiazepines is   Flumazenil  
🗑
beta-blocker antidote   Glucagon  
🗑
Black widow spider bite antidote   Antivenin (Latrodectus mactans)  
🗑
Calcium channel blockers antidote   Ca  
🗑
Carbon monoxide antidote   oxygen  
🗑
Cyanide antidote   Amyl nitrate  
🗑
Digoxin antidote   Digoxin Immune Fab  
🗑
Epinephrine antidote   Phentolamine  
🗑
Heparin or enoxaparin antidote   Protamine  
🗑
Narcotics/Opiates antidote   Naloxone  
🗑
Nerve gas poisoning antidote   Pralidoxime (2-PAM, Protopam)  
🗑
Tricyclic antidepressant antidote   Sodium bicarbonate  
🗑
Theophylline or caffeine antidote   Esmolol  
🗑
The ? regulates (or controls) muscles that we have voluntary control over, such as biceps and triceps   somatic nervous system (SoNS)  
🗑
The ANS is composed of the   sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS)  
🗑
The SNS is   the "fight or flight" system; heart, lungs  
🗑
The PSNS is   the "rest and digest" system; stomach,  
🗑
The SNS is also referred to as the ? because the SNS nerves branch out from this part of the spinal cord   thoracolumbar system  
🗑
When alpha receptors are stimulated, the result is   the excitation/stimulation/constriction of the organ or tissue  
🗑
When beta receptors are stimulated, the result is   the relaxation/inhibition/dilation of the organ or tissue  
🗑
The PSNS is also referred to as the ? because the PSNS nerves branch out at this part of the spinal cord   craniosacral system  
🗑
? receptors are found primarily in the arteries   Alpha  
🗑
? receptors are found primarily in the heart and the lungs   Beta  
🗑
Beta-l receptors are found in the   heart

🗑
Stimulation of muscarinic receptors results in a   decrease in heart rate.

🗑
The digestive system also has ? receptors   alpha-2  
🗑

🗑
Giving two medications within the same drug class or very similar drugs that do practically the exact same thing is   an additive drug-drug interaction (duplication)  
🗑
When alpha receptors in the arteries are stimulated, the arteries   constrict and narrow the pathway blood enters to increase pressure.  
🗑

🗑
The ciliary muscle allows us to   be able to see clearly during near and far vision.  
🗑
? is the automatic adjustment of the lens in the eye to improve the clarity during near and far vision   Accommodation  
🗑
in the heart, ? stimulate the heart to contract which increases contractility and blood pressure   beta cells  
🗑
beta-1 stimulants such as dobutamine should be used in   cardiac shock  
🗑
Stimulation of muscarinic receptors results in a   decrease in heart rate.  
🗑
When alpha receptors are stimulated, arteries   constrict, which increases blood pressure

🗑
The lungs have ? receptors which are found on the bronchioles   beta-2  
🗑
When beta receptors in the bronchioles are stimulated, bronchioles   relax (or dilate) to increase the amount of air entering the lungs.  
🗑
When beta receptors are inhibited, the bronchioles   constrict, and wheezing may occur.  
🗑
The digestive system also has ? receptors   alpha-2  
🗑
Alpha-2 receptors are   sensory receptors that give the body an idea how much acetylcholine is being released.
