Answer to Question 1
Answer: 2
Explanation: Memantine is an N-methyl d-aspartate glutamate receptor antagonist, which means it works by inhibiting or reducing activation of glutamine transmission. Donezpril reduces the breakdown of acetylcholine. Reducing activation of glutamine transmission and reducing the breakdown of acetylcholine may slow the progress of dementia associated with Alzheimer disease.
Answer to Question 2
Answer: 2, 3, 4, 5
Explanation: Some examples of drugs that target the transporters in the presynaptic portion on the neuronal cell, thereby making more neurotransmitter available for the receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, include selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors, serotonin-reuptake inhibitors, norepinephrine-reuptake inhibitors, and norepinephrine- dopamine-reuptake inhibitors. Opioid agonists have chemical properties that mimic the body's own drug-to-receptor process and will produce the same response in the cell.
