A dictionary, medical or otherwise, is a great resource to have available. Google is also your friend, as is dictionary.com...

Try those. If you don't understand the answers you get, PM me and I'll walk you through some of this basic terminology.

Might I suggest a beginner's physiology book to cover at least the first two terms?

Also, there was a thread a while back about alpha and beta receptors which spun off a nice conversation on cell receptors, their importance in physiology, and their agonists/antagonists.

Edit: Probably spoiling you rotten here, but I went and dug up the thread I mentioned above: http://www.emtcity.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=10546

I'll bite for ASA since it's kinda of hard to think of the first time though. ASA stands for acetylsalicylic acid. With that bit of information, the rest shouldn't be hard to find.
