• Calculate the body surface area, given a
height, weight, and the Dubois Nomogram.
Objectives
At the end of the module you will:

system drugs on the basis of how and where they
work.

Definitions
• Solute: Liquid or solid dissolved in a
liquid.
• Solvent: The liquid that dissolves the
solute.
• Solution: A chemical and physical
homogenous mixture of two or more
substances.
Percentage and Ratio Solutions
•Percentage Solutions
•A 20% solution means that there are 20
grams of solute for every 100 mL of solution.
•Example
20 g of solute

•Ratio Solution
•A 1:200 solution means that there is 1 mg of
solute in 200 mL of solution
•Example
1 mg of solute
1 : 200 

Nervous System Divisions
AFFERENT
EFFERENT
Somatic Nervous System
• Control of skeletal muscles.
• Only one junction.
• Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter.
Autonomic Nervous System
• Two Divisions
• Sympathetic
• Alert system for stressful situations
• “Fight or Flight”
• http://wps.prenhall.com/chet_colbert_intcardpha
_1/0,5136,93290-,00.html
• Parasympathetic
• Maintain homeostasis
• “Rest and Digest”
Nervous System Conduction
• Upon stimulation, electrical impulse carries
the signal along the nerve fiber or axon.
• The signal then comes to a small junction or
synapse, beyond which is a muscle, gland or
another nerve.
• The connection across the synapse is
accomplished by a chemical
neurotransmitter.
• Two neurotransmitters:
• Acetylcholine (ACH)
• Norepinephrine (NE)

Autonomic Nervous System
• Two types of junctions are present.
• Pre-ganglionic
• Conducts impulse from the CNS to the peripheral
ganglion.
• Post-ganglionic
• Transmits impulse from the ganglion to the neuroeffector
site (target).
• Both Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nerve
fibers have both types.
• ACH at both Pre-Ganglionic.
• NE (E) at post-ganglionic of Sympathetic Nerve
• ACH at post-ganglionic of Parasympathetic Nerve
Receptors
• Specific receptors for each neurotransmitter.
• Acetylcholine is “attracted” to cholinergic sites
• Muscarinic – Smooth & Cardiac muscle, exocrine
• Nicotinic – Pre-Synaptic Junction
• Also located in Somatic Nervous System
• Norepinephrine (& Epinephrine) are “attracted” to
post-synaptic adrenergic sites
•

a: Blood Vessel
b1: Heart

Receptor Types - Adrenergic
• Adrenergic Receptors: Act through the
release of epinephrine or norepinephrine.
• Any drug that mimics the effects of epinephrine
(adrenaline) is termed an adrenergic or
sympathomimetic drug.
• EXAMPLE: Bronchodilator
• A drug that antagonizes the adrenergic receptor
site are called anti-adrenergics or sympatholytics.
• Second type of Adrenergic receptor is the
dopaminergic receptor found in renal tissue.
• Stimulation causes relaxation of renal arteries and
increased renal perfusion
Nerve Receptor Types Cholinergic
• Cholinergic Receptors: Act through the release
of acetylcholine.
• Any drug that mimics the effects of acetylcholine is
termed an cholinergic or parasympathomimetic drug.
EXAMPLE: Bronchoconstrictor
• Any drug that blocks the blocks cholinergic receptors
are called Anticholinergics or parasympatholytics.
• EXAMPLE: Beta-Blockers
Neurotransmitter Elimination
• After the nerve stimulation occurs, the
neurotransmitter is eliminated by one of the
following mechanisms:
• Norepinephrine & Epinephrine are either:
• Reabsorbed by the axon terminal that secreted it.
• Deactivated by the enzymes COMT or MAO.
• COMT: Catechol-O-Methyl-Transferase
• MAO: Monamine Oxidase
• Acetylcholine is deactivated by
actetylcholinesterase, also known as
cholinesterase.
• A desired effect can occur due to stimulation
of the desired neurotransmitter or inhibition of
the enzyme that breaks it down.
