Bronchodilators and Inhaled Corticosteroids - Flashcard

Review the mechanisms of action (MOAs) for bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS).

This flashcard illustrates:

• The cholinergic and adrenergic pathways in the lungs
• The characteristics of associated antagonists and agonists for asthma and how they bind to receptors in the lungs (LAMAs and LABAs)
• How prescribed medication use can improve lung function at rest and during exercise
• Assess the cellular effects of ICS on inflammatory and structural cells
• The actions of ICS in reducing airway hyperresponsiveness
