Problem:
Changes in cellular function precipitate a greater or lesser response than what typically occurs. Agonists are medications that bind with a receptor and precipitate a greater-than-typical response. Antagonists are medications that bind with a receptor and either block a response or precipitate a less-than-typical response. Medications that are antagonists exert their effect in either a competitive or noncompetitive manner. Antagonists that compete with an agonist for receptor sites are considered "competitive antagonists." Antagonists that block an agonist's access to receptor sites are considered "noncompetitive antagonists." When you give in high enough doses, noncompetitive antagonists can completely block the typical response caused by an agonist. Competitive antagonists that you give in increasingly high doses will decrease the typical response by an agonist but will rarely completely block it. make a simple table for this notes.
