SNS: Stimulation of α1 receptors
Vasoconstriction (increased TPR) ∴ Increase BP
SNS: Stimulation of α2 receptors
Inhibit presynaptic NA Decrease insulin release
SNS: Stimulation of β1 receptors
Increase HR (↑ conduction in SA/AV nodes) Increase heart contractility (↑ Ca2+ ↑cAMP) Renin release
SNS: Stimulation of β2 receptors
