d

Answer to Question 2

Drugs either facilitate or inhibit transmission at synapses. A drug that blocks a neurotransmitter is an antagonist, whereas a drug that mimics or increases the effects is an agonist. (The term agonist is derived from a Greek word meaning contestant.. The term agony derives from the same root. An antagonist is an anti-agonist, or member of the opposing team.) A mixed agonistantagonist is an agonist for some effects of the neurotransmitter and an antagonist for others or an agonist at some doses and an antagonist at others.
