Question

drag each drug classification to the description of how it works.
description
inhibits adrenergic (sympathetic) nerve receptors within the heart
decreases vasoconstriction by inhibiting the angiotensin - converting enzyme
reduces peripheral resistance by stimulating inhibitory receptors to slow heart rate
diuretic that works alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents
slows av nodal conduction
decreases vasoconstriction by blocking the effects of angiotensin ii
increases heart rate and cardiac output by smooth muscle relaxation of blood vessels
drug class
angiotensin - converting enzyme (ace) inhibitors
angiotensin receptor blockers (arbs)
thiazide diuretics
peripheral vasodilators
beta - adrenergic blockers
calcium channel blockers
antiadrenergic agents

Explanation:

1. Inhibiting adrenergic (sympathetic) nerve receptors within the heart is the action of Beta - Adrenergic Blockers.
2. Decreasing vasoconstriction by inhibiting the angiotensin - converting enzyme is the function of Angiotensin - Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors.
3. Reducing peripheral resistance by stimulating inhibitory receptors to slow heart rate is what Antiadrenergic Agents do.
4. A diuretic that works alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents is Thiazide Diuretics.
5. Slowing AV nodal conduction is an action of Beta - Adrenergic Blockers.
6. Decreasing vasoconstriction by blocking the effects of angiotensin II is the role of Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBs).
7. Increasing heart rate and cardiac output by smooth muscle relaxation of blood vessels is the function of Peripheral Vasodilators.

Answer:

1. Inhibits adrenergic (sympathetic) nerve receptors within the heart - Beta - Adrenergic Blockers
2. Decreases vasoconstriction by inhibiting the angiotensin - converting enzyme - Angiotensin - Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitors
3. Reduces peripheral resistance by stimulating inhibitory receptors to slow heart rate - Antiadrenergic Agents
4. Diuretic that works alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents - Thiazide Diuretics
5. Slows AV nodal conduction - Beta - Adrenergic Blockers
6. Decreases vasoconstriction by blocking the effects of angiotensin II - Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBs)
7. Increases heart rate and cardiac output by smooth muscle relaxation of blood vessels - Peripheral Vasodilators
