medocuk,, you know what I collapsed b4 I reached there in ANSsticking out tongue
but you made me open ANS again today.. just to peek that part.

so here it is
Epinephrine is alpha1, alpha2, beta1, beta2 agonist

alpha1 causes inc BP,
alpha 2 no effect on HR & BP
beta 1 inc HR
beta 2 dec BP
so when alpha1 blocker is given , BP decreases due to unrestricted beta 2 action!!

Hi Kity! Looks like anatomy time for you as well smiling face

A man in a car crash lost his sense of smell afterward. Damage to which bony structure of the skull is most likely?

He also had an absent corneal reflex of the left eye. Which nerve is damaged?

Happy studying smiling facesmiling facesmiling face


  #337

aah edie good to see you.. keep a track on all of us.. we miss yousticking out tongue

is it cribriform plate
& afferent for corneal reflex is Trigeminal nv right???

Corneal reflex has 2 components to it. the sensory which is the afferent passed via Trigeminal nerve the Ophthalmic division at that and the motor or the blink reflex which passes via Facial nerve.

I think we r talking of the same person with the loss of smell..so the question would be which nerve did he severe..grrrr...Trigeminal I'll say..


  #339

I agree with Kity. it is nice to see you around Edie.

Biochem coming along?

I still have along way to go. sticking out tongue UW and Pharm distracted me. Even 12hrs is not enuff..... after studying till 2 at night i wud be up by 6 and be fine in the day now even 6 hrs of sleep makes me sleepy in the day. is it the pre-exam syndrome or plan-ole lazy-bones?

And my cutie pie my biggest distraction!!!!!!!! MOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMY!!!!!!!! shaking head

Kity, keep your focus! Muster up your self-discipline and try to stick to one topic and know it absolutely cold before moving to the next. I'll admit, it's not easy, but once you start, it won't be so hard. Also, like Shwe said, keep doing your questions. How are your scores these days? Let us know of your progress, so we can praise or push!!! grin

  #350
