1. Decrease neurotransmitter synthesis
2. Prevent neurotransmitter storage
3. Prevent neurotransmitter release
4. Prevent neurotransmitter binding
5. Prevent the reuptake of neurotransmitter


Correct Answer: 1,2,3,4
Rationale 1: Drugs that decrease neurotransmitter synthesis inhibit autonomic responses.
Rationale 2: Medications that prevent neurotransmitter storage inhibit autonomic actions.
Rationale 3: Medications that prevent neurotransmitter release inhibit autonomic responses.
Rationale 4: Medications that attach to the postganglionic cell and prevent the neurotransmitter from reaching its receptions will inhibit autonomic actions.
Rationale 5: Medications that prevent the reuptake of neurotransmitter cause the neurotransmitter to remain in the synapse for a longer time and will stimulate autonomic actions.
Global Rationale: Drugs that decrease neurotransmitter synthesis, prevent neurotransmitter storage, prevent neurotransmitter release, and attach to the postganglionic cell and prevent the neurotransmitter from reaching its receptions will inhibit autonomic responses. Medications that prevent the reuptake of neurotransmitter cause the neurotransmitter to remain in the synapse for a longer time and will stimulate autonomic actions.
