Physiology
<p><strong>The Nerve Impulse</strong></p>

The Nerve Impulse When a nerve is stimulated the resting potential changes. Examples of such stimuli are pressure, electricity, chemicals, etc. Different neurons are sensitive to different stimuli(although most can register pain). The stimulus causes sodium ion channels to open. The rapid change in polarity that moves along the nerve fiber is called the &quot;action potential.&quot; In order for an action potential to occur, it must reach threshold. If threshold …

General Pathology
<p>Pemphigus</p>

Pemphigus 1. Ulcerative lesions on the skin and oral mucosa. 2. An autoimmune disease in which patients have autoantibodies against hemidemosomal attachment of epidermis cells. 3. Histologically characterized by acantholysis, in which epidermal cells appear to detach and separate from each other, as seen by Tzanck smears. 4. Can be life-threatening if untreated. 5. A positive Nikolsky sign is observed. Because of sloughing of the epidermis, a red blister forms…

Pharmacology
<p>Classification&nbsp;On the basis of Receptors, drugs can be divided into four groups</p>

On the basis of Receptors, drugs can be divided into four groups, a. agonists b. antagonists c. agonist-antagonists d. partial agonists &nbsp; a. Agonist morphine fentanyl pethidine Action : activation of all receptor subclasses, though, with different affinities b. Antagonist Naloxone , Naltrexone Action : &nbsp;Devoid of activity at all receptor classes &nbsp; c. Partial Agonist: (Mixed Narcotic Agonists/Antagonists) Pentazo…
