What type of anesthetic agent is referred to as a reversal agent?
  1. Agonists
  2. Antagonists
  3. Partial agonists
  4. Mixed agonist-antagonists
Explanation
Answer: B - The anesthetic agent referred to as a reversal agent is the antagonist. This type of drug blocks or reverses the action of agonists. Most anesthetic agents target tissues in the central or peripheral nervous system by binding to specific cell receptors, and the antagonist blocks the agonist's ability to properly bind to its target site.
