Explain the Mechanism of Action of the Anesthetic Agents Nitrous

question 17

Multiple Choice

Explain the mechanism of action of the anesthetic agents nitrous oxide,propofol,and ketamine.

• A) Nitrous oxide, propofol, and ketamine antagonize NMDA receptors, thereby blocking cation movement and depolarization while enhancing the opioid mu receptors.
• B) Nitrous oxide, propofol, and ketamine potentiate NMDA receptors, thereby increasing cation movement and hyperpolarization with no effect on the opioid mu receptors.
• C) Nitrous oxide, propofol, and ketamine antagonize NMDA receptors, thereby blocking cation movement and depolarization while suppressing the opioid mu receptors.
• D) None of these are correct.
