26
Alpha 1 receptors are for
activation
27
Alpha 1 receptors are located on
-smooth muscles -GI and bladder -pupillary dilator
28
Alpha 1 mechanism of action

platelets, fat cells, and the walls of the GI tract
33
Alpha 2 receptors are part of a ______ feedback loop with norepinephrine
negative
34
Alpha 2 mechanism of action:
Gi protein, inhibition of adenylate cyclase, and decrease in cyclic adenosine monophosphate(cAMP)
35
Beta 1 receptors produce
excitation
36
Beta 1 receptors are located in the
SA node, AV node, and ventricular muscle of the heart
37
Beta 1 mechanism of action
Gs protein, stimulation of adenylate cyclase, and increase in cAMP
38
Beta 2 receptors produce
relaxation
39
Beta 2 receptors are located on
vascular smooth muscle of skeletal muscle, bronchial smooth muscle, and in the walls of the GI tract and bladder
40
Beta 2 receptors mechanism of action:
Gs protein(note cute=kyle), simulation of adenylate cyclase
