Essentials of Pharmacology Crossword Puzzle

QUESTIONS LIST:

• pharmacokinetics : defined as the study of the time course of adme.
• ultrarapid : type of cyp p450 metabolizer that clears drugs quickly
• inverse : type of agonist that produces a conformation change that closes the channel and stabilizes it in the inactive form
• pharmacodynamics : the relationship between drug concentration as the site of action and the resulting effect
• camp : main 2nd messenger in g-protein linked cascade
• sodium : type of voltage gated ion channel that occurs first in the initial segment of the axon
• tetrameric : ligand gated ion channel structure for the glutamate receptor family
• mao : an enzyme targeted by psychotropic drugs
• signaltransduction : a series of chemical messages that travels through cascades of messengers leading to gene expression
• presynaptic : drugs that target the synthesis, storage, metabolism, and release of neurotransmitters would target this part of the axon
• acetylcholine : 1 of the 6 key neurotransmitter systems targeted by psyschotropic drugs
• epigenetics : the study of changes in organisms caused by modification of gene expression
• desensitization : an adaptive state in which the receptor stops responding to the agonist even if it is still bound
• irreversible : another name for "suicide inhibitor"
• lamotrigine : a drug that targets the vscc
• negative : type of allosteric modulation that lowers the activity of the neurotransmitter
• inactivation : an adaptive state in which a closed ion channel overtime becomes stabilized in an inactive conformation
• anatomical : the basis of neurotransmission that includes neurons and synapses between them
• positive : type of allosteric modulation that boosts the neurotransmitter
• dnamethylation : 1 of the mechanisms of epigenetics
• calcium : the voltage gated channel that is located in the cell body, dendrites, and initial segment
