nervous system
what is the sympathetic nervous system? - (answers)fight or flight response,

what are the 4 main adrenergic receptors? - (answers)Alpha 1, Alpha 2, Beta 1,
Beta 2
Alpha 1 - (answers)blood vessels, peripheral resistance and blood return to the
heart, improved circulation and bp
alpha 2 - (answers)inhibit release of norepinephrine, decrease in vasoconstriction
which leads to vasodilation and decreased bp
beta 1 - (answers)stimulation causes increased myocardial contractility and heart
rate
beta 2 - (answers)relaxation, bronchodilation of the lungs
