- 6. refers to norepinephrine, epinephrine, and other sympathomimetic compounds that possess the catechol structure
- 7. removing the sensation of touch or pain by applying extreme cold to the nerve endings
- 9. drug that binds to a receptor and activates a physiological response or drug action
- 10. drugs that relieve, interrupt, or prevent muscle spasms
- 12. describes the process of drug absorption, drug distribution, drug metabolism, and drug excretion
- 13. a type of drug that is mainly indicated for supra-ventricular arrhythmias and for prevention of recurrent myocardial infarction

Down
- 1. continuous body movement in which an individual is restless or constantly paces about
- 2. the study of drugs
- 4. refers to the nerves and receptors of the parasympathetic nervous system; also refers to the drugs that stimulate this system

- 17. a type of receptor located on internal organs that responds to norepinephrine and epinephrine
- 18. a substance that is destructive to nerve tissue
- 24. part of the brainstem that serves as a relay station for nerve fibers traveling to other brain areas; also involved in sensory and motor functions
- 25. part of the brain that coordinates body movements and posture and helps maintain body equilibrium
