    Preg Cat: C
  16. T class: Antidote for atropine-induced delirium

    Pharm class: Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitor

    Action: An indirect-acting parasympathomimetic that inhibits the destruction of Ach by AchE

    Preg Cat: C

  17. Atropine (Atro-Pen)

    T Class: 

    Pharm class:

    Action:

    Preg cat:
    T class: Antidote for anticholinesterase poisoning

    Pharm class: Muscarinic Cholinergic receptor blocker

    Action: By occupying muscarinic receptors, atropine blocks the parasympathetic actions of Ach and induces symptoms of the fight or flight response

    Preg cat: C
  18. T class: Antidote for anticholinesterase poisoning

    Pharm class: Muscarinic Cholinergic receptor blocker

    Action: By occupying muscarinic receptors, atropine blocks the parasympathetic actions of Ach and induces symptoms of the fight or flight response

    Preg cat: C
    Atropine (Atro-Pen)

    Brain and Spinal Cord
  22. Two branches of the PNS?
    Motor Neurons and Sensory Neurons
  23. Two branches of the Motor Neurons?
    Somatic Nervous System and Autonomic Nervous System
  24. What is the Somatic Nervous System?
    Controls voluntary movements by activating skeletal muscles
  25. What is the Autonomic Nervous System?
