Q

skeletal muscle

A

B2 = ↑glycogenolysis to ↑K+ uptake

17
Q

mast cells

A

B2 inhibits mast cell degranulation –> inhibit histamine release

18
Q

liver

A

B2 = ↑ glycogenolysis = ↑[glucose]

19
Q

pancreas

A

B2 = ↑ glucagon release = ↑ [glucose]

20
Q

A1 receptor

A

G alpha Q

↑PLC –> ↑IP3, DAG, ↑Ca (increasing Ca is going to stimulate SM contraction)

21
Q

A2 receptor

A

G alpha I (inhibitory)
↓ adenylyl cyclase & ↑K+ channels –>
↓cAMP (low cAMP = SM contraction, ↓HR & contractility)
↑K+ channels is going to inhibit presynaptic NT release –> tremors

22
Q

B (1,2,3)

A

G alpha s
↑ adenylyl cyclase –> ↑cAMP & ↑Ca++ (heart)
↑cAMP is going to relax smooth muscles, but ↑HR & contractility
