FACTORS APPECTING RESPIRATORY FUNCTION
● Age
● Environment
● Lifestyle
● Health status
● Medications
● Stress
helps the body contract, given to pt with heart attack so that the heart will contract. It also dilates the bronchial tree ot helps relax and dilates. It is usually for cardiac muscles to contract
