Metoprolol Metoprolol is a beta-Adrenergic blocking agent. Beta receptors are part of the sympathetic nervous system and are found on cells of the heart‚ smooth muscles‚ in airways‚ arteries and kidneys. Associated with stress response‚ they are stimulated by epinephrine. Beta blockers interfere with the binding of epinephrine at the receptors. Metoprolol works by inhibiting the response to adrenergic stimuli by blocking beta one adrenergic receptors within the myocardium. (Hoffman‚ Jones

ATOMIC PHYSICS The nuclear atom All matter is made up of atoms which consist of a central nucleus‚ surrounded by electrons. Inside the nucleus are protons and neutrons. Particle Relative mass Charge Location Proton 1840 + Nucleus Neutron 1840 0 Nucleus Electron 1 - Outside nucleus Proton or atomic number (Z) This is the total number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.

Medication Focused Case Study Patient Overview M.S. is a 35-year-old female who came into urgent care at Kaiser Permanente Riverside. She presented with a sore ankle that was causing her problems after accidently twisting it by missing a step in going down a set of stairs. The only prior medical history that M.S. has is a history of asthma that is currently managed with appropriate medications. Even though she has a history of asthma‚ she reports smoking cigarettes and often drinks alcohol.

higher neutron to proton ratio‚ rising to 1.5/1 for elements having atomic numbers between 20 and 83. An understanding of the Belt of Stability will allow you to predict how unstable nuclides will decay. The typical modes of radioactive decay are alpha decay‚ beta decay and electron capture (or positron emission). During alpha decay‚ the mass number of the nuclide decreases by 4 units and the number of protons decreases by 2. This type of decay is associated with heavy‚ unstable nuclides. Since no stable

of memory persistence‚ that is‚ knowing which mechanisms in the learning process are affected and how. The purpose of this experiment is to analyze how stress by immobilization affects the persistence of long-term memory along with administration of beta-adrenergic antagonist treatment‚ theoretically resulting in different memory retention over 7 days. For the testing purposes‚ the author gathered 170 male Wistar rats ranging from two to three months of age and weighting 250-280 grams. These testing
