Question 1 of 5

Buprenorphine is

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A because buprenorphine is a partial agonist at the Mu receptor. This means it can activate the receptor but with less efficacy compared to a full agonist, resulting in a ceiling effect and lower risk of respiratory depression. Choice B is incorrect because buprenorphine is not a full agonist at the Mu receptor. Choices C and D are incorrect as buprenorphine primarily acts on the Mu receptor, not the K receptor.

Question 2 of 5

Not an action of bradykinin?

Therefore, the correct answer is A. Vasodilation, not bronchodilation. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they are all known actions of bradykinin based on its physiological effects.
