What are the effects of:
alpha1
Alpha 2

A

Acetylcholine

Bethanechol

82
Q

What are the adverse effects of M3 receptor agonists

A

Low blood pressure

Hypotension

83
Q

What are the M3 receptor Antagonists

A

Atropine

91
Q

What are the effects of M3 agonists on the respiratory system

A

Causes Vasoconstricton, which increases the secretion of mucus in the respiratory tract, thereby increasing resistance

92
