Define nutraceutical. Give an example - ANSA neutraceutical is any nontoxic food component that has scientifically proven health benefits, including disease treatment and prevention. Glucosamine/chondroitin sulfate Define preload and afterload in relation to the pumping mechanism of the heart. - ANSPreload is volume of blood in ventricles at end of diastole (amt of blood that must be pumped out) and afterload is the resistance in the arteries that the ventricle must overcome to pump blood.)

Most work by interfering with the parasite's nervous system to prevent them from moving. Describe how drugs affect the nervous system - ANSDrugs affect the nervous system by acting at the synaptic junctions to promote neurotransmitter's activity, mimic their actions, or block them from acting. Describe how you would set up the first bag of fluids for a 44lb dog that is 6% dehydrated and is losing 100 ml of fluid daily through vomiting. - ANSFirst, check the bag to ensure that the solution is clear. Inspect the container's insertion port cover to make sure that it is intact and then remove the cover, being careful not to contaminate it. Close the flow clamp on the administration set, and remove the cover from the set spike. Wipe the port with an alcohol swab, and insert the spike into the insertion port. Hang the bag and fill the administration set line, clearing all bubbles in the process. Close the flow clamp and attach the line adapter to the intravenous catheter using sterile technique. Open the flow clamp and adjust the flow rate. Describe the difference between an agonist and an opioid antagonist - ANSAn agonist is a drug that combines with a receptor to bring about an action and an antagonist combines with a receptor to block the action.
Describe the difference between positive and negative feedback control mechanism in the endocrine system. - ANSNegative feedback= hypothalamus senses high level of a certain hormone and reduces the amount of releasing facto (RF)for this hormone. Positive feedback is when it senses low level and release more RF to cause increase in trophic hormone. describe the functions of the three basic defense mechnaisms of the respiratory system - ANSStructures in the nasal passages filter, warm, and humidify inspired air. The cough, sneeze and reverse sneeze attempt to remove foreign material that has entered the respiratory system Mucocilliary mechanism also removes foreign material from the respiratory system.

Describe the marketing of animal health products - ANSPurchased from manufacturers, distributors, or generic mail order companies. May be sold only one label to graduate veterinarians and under another as over-the-counter Describe the relationship between hormonal releasing factors, trophic hormones, and the hormones produced by specific tissues or glands. - ANSReleasing factors (RF's) are messengers made by the hypothalamus in response to its detection of hormone levels in the blood. RFs send messages to the pituitary to stimulate this gland to manufacture trophic hormones. Trophic hormones, in turn, stimulate a specific tissue or gland. Describe the sequence of events that a drug undergoes from administration to excretion - ANSDrug is absorbed (or placed directly) into the bloodstream, the drug may bind with plasma in the blood or may exist in free state, circulating blood distributes drug to capillary level where it leaves circulation and enters interstitial fluid. it bathes the cell and allows drug to bind to cell surface receptors or enter the cell. It then exits the cell and moves back into interstitial fluid,
