Chapter 16, Problem 5TYC
Summary Introduction
To write:
The atropine opposes the antidiarrheal effects of Lomotil. The pupils would be dilated or constricted by atropine poisoning. Atropine poisoning affects on the moist or dry skin. Atropine poisoning effect on heart rate elevated or depressed. Atropine poisoning effect on the bladder to retain urine or void uncontrollably.
Introduction:
Lomotil contains a combination of two drugs that are diphenoxylate and atropine. It is helpful in curing acute diarrhea. Diphenoxylate aids in curing diarrhea by reducing the intestinal movements.

- Give typed explanationarrow_forwardMalathion is an insecticide commonly used in the horticultural industry. Many homeowners apply this chemical to their trees to rid them of infestation by aphids or other insects. Malathion is classified as an organophosphate insecticide. Exposure to malathion is very dangerous to humans and animals because it acts as an irreversible inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase. Predict what might happen to synaptic communication between cholinergic neurons if an individual or animal was poisoned with malathion, and clearly describe the mechanisms at work.arrow_forwardBoth rhodopsin in vision and the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor in cardiac muscle are coupled to ion channels via G proteins. Describe the similarities and differences between these two systems.arrow_forward

How many asymmetric centers does it have?arrow_forwardVitamins B1, B6 and B12 are so-called "Neurotropic" vitamins. They may response to "Wallerian degeneration" in nerve system. Briefly describe"Wallerian degeneration" and how the "neurotropic" vitamins react with this process.arrow_forwardBetaxolol is an effective ocular antihypertensive agent, pharmacologically classified as a cardioselective beta-blocker. Its mode of action in reducing intraocular pressure is similar to that of non-selective blockers, suppressing the flow of aqueous humor. The extent of occupation, in the systemic circulation, of the beta 1-adrenoceptor of betaxolol when applied topically is smaller than that of non-selective blockers and the occupation of the beta 2 receptor is insignificant, providing a better safety profile in patients with cardiopulmonary disease . Experimental studies have revealed that this drug targets the retina after topical administration and exhibits L-type dependent calcium channel blocking activity, which likely allows betaxolol to improve retinal perfusion and serve as a recommended neuroprotective agent in various forms of glaucoma . The most frequent adverse reaction to betaxolol is burning after administration, which is minimized by an ocular suspension with a reduced…arrow_forward

Would there be any effect on the activity in either the monosynaptic or polysynaptic components of the stretch reflex when the muscle is stretched, as compared to when the muscle is stretched without curare present? (In answering this question, just consider the components in the stretch reflex, including the muscle) (4 points) a) No, curare would not have any effect on the components in either the monosynaptic or polysynaptic stretch reflex circuit. b) Yes, curare would cause a decrease in the activity of one or more components in the monosynaptic stretch reflex circuit(s). c) Yes, curare would cause a decrease in the activity of one or more components in the polysynaptic stretch reflex circuit(s). d) Yes, curare would cause a decrease in the activity of one or more components in both stretch reflex circuit(s). e) Yes, curare would cause an increase in the activity of one or more components in the…arrow_forwardWhat are the affinities of acetylcholine and nicotine for the nAChR?
