<h2>Cholinergic and Adrenergic neurons</h2>

Explanation:

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a dual innervations system which innervates internal organs of the body through the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). Depending upon the neurotransmitter and receptor used, the ANS fibers are classified as cholinergic or adrenergic neurons.

The preganglionic neurons of the sympathetic and the preganglionic and postganglionic neurons of the parasympathetic nervous system release the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACH) and hence are called cholinergic neurons.

The postganglionic neurons of the sympathetic nervous system releases catecholamine like norepinephrine(NE) and hence called as adrenergic neurons.

The cholinergic neurons store ACH in the synaptic terminals. They are myelinated to aid in faster neurotransmission. The ACH neurotransmitter released from preganglionic neurons activates the two receptors – nicotinic ACH and muscarinic receptors on the postganglionic neurons .

The postganglionic neurons releasing NE binds to the adrenergic receptors – Alpha 1 and 2, Beta 1, 2, and 3.

Bethanechol chloride is prescribed for a client with urinary retention. Which disorder would be a contraindication to the admini

storchak [24]

Urinary strictures

Bethanechol chloride (Urecholine) can be harmful to patients who have a urinary tract obstruction or bladder wall weakness. The medication has the ability to contract the bladder, causing pressure to build up in the urinary tract. In these patients, an increase in urinary tract pressure could cause the bladder to rupture.

What is Urinary retention?

The inability to completely empty the bladder is referred to as urinary retention. The onset can be abrupt or gradual.
Symptoms of sudden onset include inability to urinate and lower abdominal pain.
When symptoms appear gradually, they may include loss of bladder control, mild lower abdominal pain, and a weak urine stream.
If there is an obstruction or stricture (narrowing) in or around the bladder, or if the muscles in or around the bladder are weak, urine may be retained. Urinary retention can also be caused by certain types and locations of tumors, certain medications, being dehydrated, or having constipation.

It is in the morphinan class of medications with sedative, dissociative, and stimulant properties.
Dextromethorphan comes as a liquid-filled capsule, a chewable tablet, a dissolving strip, a solution (liquid), an extended-release (long-acting) suspension (liquid), and a lozenge to take by mouth.
It is usually taken every 4 to 12 hours as needed.
Dextromethorphan will not treat a cough that is caused by smoking, asthma, or emphysema.
Dextromethorphan comes alone and in combination with antihistamines, cough suppressants, and decongestants.
Side effects of dextromethorphan at normal therapeutic doses can include: body rash, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, constipation, sedation, etc.

Answer:

The activity of lipoprotein lipase in your adipose tissue is constant

Explanation:

If the lipoprotein activity is kept constant, the fat metabolism will be regulated and maintained over time.
