PSYC62H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter 10: Opioid Antagonist, Opioid Receptor, G Protein-Coupled Inwardly-Rectifying Potassium Channel
Document Summary
Psychoactive substances that elicit pharmacological efects by acting on opioid receptors in the. Naturally occurring opioids opioids found in opium, including morphine and codeine. Opioids not derived from morphine, codeine, or any other naturally occurring opioid. A k+ channel that causes the inlux of k+ inlux when a neuron is depolarized. Drugs that act as a full receptor antagonist at opioid receptors. Drugs that produce partial agonist actions at opioid receptors and therefore do not produce efects achieved by pure opioid receptor agonists. Drugs that act as full receptor antagonists at opioid receptors. Pupil constriction that can occur after opioid administration. Process that uses an opioid agonist or antagonist to reduce withdrawal symptoms. Detoxiication process that lasts approximately 180 days and occurs by prescribing an opioid receptor agonist or a partial opioid receptor agonist to replace the illicit opioid drug. Detoxiication process that lasts as long as 30 days and usually uses opioid receptor agonists.
