Question

beta blockers which bind competitively to adrenergic b receptors are used to decrease blood pressure these ligands are Merge Fields Block LineField Start Mail Come in two types: phosphoglycerides and sphingolipids Components of plasma membrane bilayer d. Contain hydrocarbon chains e. All of the above are correct Beta (b) blockers, which bind competitively to adrenergic b receptors are used to decrease blood pressure (by blocking stimulation by epinephrine). These ligands are a. Neurotransmitters b. Antagonists c. Reverse agonists d. Secondary messengers e. Agonists What is false of action potentials a. Require voltage gate Na channels b. Require ligand gate channels c. Triggered upon reaching critical threshold d. Occurs only in living cells e. All of the above are true c. 4. 5. 6. Excess ethanol in the body (binge drinking) is converted to acetaldehyde, which is thought to contribute to the sensation of "hangover". This reaction involves the loss of 2 H+ and 2 e-. In

Explanation / Answer

The correct answer is - b) antagonists.

Additional Information:

Beta blockers acts as the competitive antagonists. They block the binding site for adrenaline and noradrenaline of Beta adrenergic receptors, of the sympathetic nervous system. This drugs used in angina pectoris, atrial fibrilation, glucoma, cardiac arrythmia and many other diseases.
