Work Study - Explore the listed agonist spectrum and consider

Work Study

TO PREPARE FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT:

• Review the Learning Resources assigned this week.

• Review the Concept Map resources.

• Explore the listed agonist spectrum and consider the action and receptor of each:

• Agonist

• Partial agonist

• Antagonist

• Inverse agonist

THE ASSIGNMENT

You will submit a concept map exploring the four agonists on the agonist spectrum (agonist, partial agonist, antagonist, and inverse agonist) in which you:

• Describe the different characteristics of the four agonists and how each mediates distinct biological activities. Include proposed mechanisms and the receptor it is targeting.

• Scavenge the literature after describing each agonist on the spectrum for research that is based on the medications in the table below.

• Apply the medications to the appropriate agonist on the agonist spectrum in your Concept Map.

Medications

Oxycodone

Brexpiprazole

Haloperidol

Naloxone

Aripiprazole

Amphetamine

Risperidone

Pimavanserin
