Homework Answers
Ans) D. It increases or decreases the activity of that receptor.
Explaination:
When a drug binds to a receptor in the body it increases or decreases the activity of that receptor.
- As binding to the active site on the receptor regulates receptor activation directly.
- The activity of receptors can also be regulated by the binding of a ligand to other sites on the receptor, as in allosteric binding sites.
- Antagonists mediate their effects through receptor interactions by preventing agonist-induced responses.
- This may be accomplished by binding to the active site or the allosteric site.

Question 1 (1 point) Vasoconstriction occurs when epinephrine (adrenaline) binds to the a-adrenergic receptor on vascular smooth muscle cells. One way to treat high blood pressure is to administer competitive inhibitors that bind to this receptor. The Kd for binding of epinephrine to this receptor is ~UM. Based on the measured affinity (Kd) of the following drugs for the a-adrenergic receptor, which might be good candidates for high blood pressure medication? Drug A: Kd = 0.6 M; Drug B: Kd...

Define pharmacodynamics and its relationship to the action of drugs on the body. Discuss dose-response relationships (e.g., basic features of the dose-response relationships, maximal efficacy, and relative potency), the effects drugs can produce, and the amount of drug needed to elicit an effect. Discuss properties of drug-receptor interactions (e.g., drug receptors, four primary receptor families, receptors and selectivity for drug action, theories of drug-receptor interaction, agonists, antagonists, partial agonists, and regulation of receptor sensitivity). Describe how receptors function in the...

The Brain on Mind Altering Drugs Psychoactive drugs alter brain function by acting at synapses in the brain, where they may mimic, enhance, or block the effects of natural signaling molecules (neurotransmitters). The neurotransmitter dopamine plays a particularly important role in creating the dependency aspect of both drug and behavioral addictions. Natural behaviors which enhance survival and/or reproduction, such as eating or engaging in sex, result in a surge of dopamine. Normally, this response helps individuals learn to repeat beneficial...
