A. Beta 2 receptors c. Alpha receptors

B. Gamma receptors d. Beta 1 receptors

Ans>>c

Alpha receptors are located in the peripheral vasculature, the heart, bronchial muscle, and bronchial
blood vessels.



Pts: 1



2. Which receptor site results in tachycardia, an increased potential for arrhythmias, and an
increased cardiac output?

A. Beta 1 receptor c. Alpha receptor

B. Beta 2 receptor d. Delta receptor

Ans>>a

Stimulation of the beta-1 receptors results in tachycardia, an increased potential for arrhythmias, and an
increased cardiac output. In administering drugs to the pulmonary system, stimulation of the beta-1
sites is not desired. However, most respiratory pharmacologic agents have some beta-1 stimulatory
effect.

Pts: 1



3. Stimulation of the beta 2 receptors causes

A. Peripheral vasoconstriction and mild bronchoconstriction in the lungs.

B. Tachycardia, an increased potential for arrhythmias, and an increased cardiac output.

C. Bronchodilation.

D. Peripheral vasodilation, bradycardia, and decreased cardiac output.
