Define the signs of adverse reactions- iatrogenic and idiosyncratic reactions *Adverse reactions- any unexpected‚ unintended or excessive response to a medication given at therapeutic dosages (opposed to an overdose) *Latrogenic- an adverse reaction caused by the actions of a prescriber‚ healthcare professional‚ or other specific treatment *Idiosyncratic- an adverse reaction that is abnormal/unexpected to a medication (other than an allergic) that is peculiar to the individual 2.

The study of cardio physiology was broken up into five distinct parts all centering on the cardiovascular system. The first lab was utilization of the electrocardiogram (ECG). This studied the electrical activities of the heart by placing electrodes on different parts of the skin. This results in a graph on calibrated paper of these activities. These graphs are useful in the diagnosis of heart disease and heart abnormalities. Alongside natural heart abnormalities are those induced by chemical substances

hormones result in vasoconstriction and increased cardiac output‚ returning the blood pressure back to its normal range. The short term mechanism of the endocrine response to a lowered blood pressure involves the sympathetic activation and release of epinephrine and norepinephrine which are adrenal hormones that act to increase cardiovascular activity through vasoconstriction and increased cardiac

Endocrine System Chapter 13 Study Guide Name ( ) Revision 2 OVERVIEW The endocrine system‚ like the nervous system‚ controls body activities to maintain a relatively constant internal environment. The methods used by these two systems are different. This chapter describes the difference between endocrine and exocrine glands‚ the location of the endocrine glands‚ and the hormones they secrete (objectives 1 and 6). It explains the nature of hormones‚ the substances that function as hormones
Premium Hormone Endocrine system
nervous and endocrine systems overlap to some extent. Certain specialized nerve cells known as neurosecretory cells release hormones into the blood. The hormones produced by these cells are sometimes called neurohormones. Chemicals such as epinephrine serve as both hormones of the endocrine system and neurotransmitters in the nervous system. The nervous system plays a role in certain sustained responses—controlling day/night cycles and reproductive cycles in many animals‚ for example—often

ENDOCRINE SYSTEM The endocrine system helps regulate and maintain various body functions by synthesizing (making) and releasing hormones‚ chemical messengers. The endocrine system is composed of glands that release their hormones directly into the bloodstream for chemical signaling of target cells. Endocrine glands do not have a duct system and are called ductless glands. These glands release hormones directly into the blood or lymph. These glands include the pituitary gland‚ the pineal gland
