(no subject)
So I failed Pharm. and am retesting tomorrow, on the first day of class after a little more than three weeks. It was a great three weeks too. Now I am spending my last night before I have to go to class again studying for a test. I really wish now that I had done it sooner, but it's ok. I know a few other people who failed(though I did so quite epically) and they've all already tested. I'm the procrastinating teenager I guess. Oh well.
The retest dosen't really seem too hard. Out instructor gave us a review a week or so before Christmas, which out lines the test quite well, according to my informants. The bad part was that they didn't want us to test before that Thursday, and the next Thursday/Friday was Christmas, and they didn't want to be working the week of Christmas. So since I didn't feel up to testing on Friday, I was forced to wait until the week after, which made me lose my ever so important momentum. So naturally, scheduling my test didn't happen until the very last minute. Give or take 6 hours.
I shall out line my review here.
Drugs to know-
(Trade name/Generic Name- Classification)
Tegretol/Carbamazepine- Anticonvulsant
Valium/Diazepam- Benzodiazipine
Xanax/Alprazelam- Benzo.
Ativan/Lorazepam- Benzo.
Versed/Midazelam- Benzo.
Lasix/Furosimide- Loop Diuretic
Elavil/Anmiptyline- Tricyclic Antidepressant
Coumadin/Warfarin- Anticoagulant
Lanoxin/Digoxin- Cardiac Glycocide
Zestril/Lisinopril- ACE inhibitor
Coreg/Cardvelol- Beta Blocker
Cardizem/Diltiazem- Calcium channel blocker
Narcan/Naloxone- Opoid Antagonist
Toradol/Ketoralac- NSAID
Benadryl/Dyphenhydramine- Antihistamine
Nardil/Phenlzine- MAOI
Prozac-Zoloft-SSRI
Zyprexa/Olanzepine-Antimanic
Fast Potential(I still don't know what kind of potential that is...)
Phase 0-Sodium enters
Phase 1-Sodium channels close, potassium enters
Phase 2-Calcium enters, potassium exits
Phase 3-Calcium still enters, potassium still exits
Phase 4-Resting
Definitions/Random facts-
Pharmacokinetics-LADME, how drugs get to where they need to be.
Pharmacodynamics-MOA, how they work when they get to where they need to be.
Blood Brain Barrier-Excludes drugs from reaching the brain.
Levadopa-Nonprotein bound, highly lipid soluble, non-ionized, capable of breaching the BBB. Becomes dopamine once across.
Agonist-Stimulates receptor sites(makes things happen faster and more often)
Agonist/antagonist- creates desired response of drug without side effects.
Opioid agonist prototype=morphine
Benzo.s/Barbituates-sedative hypnotics
-zine=phenothiazine
Monoamine Oxydase Inhibitor(MAOI)-(Nardil), stops Monoamine Oxydase from destroying monoamines.
When the parasympathtic nervous system is stimulated, the responses of the-
-Constricted pupils
-Bronchoconstriction
-Increased GI motility
-Relaxation of the heart
Complex cascade system=RAAS(renin angiotensin aldosterone system)
-ACE inhibitors effect this(Zestril)
Streptoclonase-thrombolytic
GABA=chief inhibitory neurotransmitter, regulates epi and norepi.
TCA(Elavil)-interupts the reuptake of monoamines (has cardiac side effects)
SSRI(Prozac)-Selectively inhibits the reuptake of serotonin, without effects on
dopamine or epi
Benzo.-Sedative hypnotic, slows down action potential, hyperpolarizing cell membrane, increasing effects of GABA, ionizing the cell.
Neuromuscluar blocker-(Succ.)Competitive antagonist to the nicotinic-m receptor at the neuromuscular junction.
ACE inhibitor- stops angiotensin I from being converted to angiotensin II, which stops the process of the renin angiotensin aldosterone system. (inhibiting vasoconstriction)
So as long as I know that I'm good :)
I'd say right now I could make at least an 80, so I'm pretty good.
