receptor that stimulates parasympathetic and sympathetic

postganglionic nerves and releases epinephrine form the adrenal

medulla .....ANSWER..... NicotinicN

receptor subtype located in the neuromuscular junction

.....ANSWER..... NicotinicM

receptor subtype that is located in the eye, heart, lungs, bladder,

GI Tract, sweat glands, sex organs, and blood vessels

.....ANSWER..... Muscarinic

when activated, this receptor subtype causes coordinated

of the prostatic capsule, and contraction of the trigone and

bladder sphincter .....ANSWER..... Alpha1

receptor subtype leads to Inhibition of transmitter release in

presynaptic nerve terminals .....ANSWER..... Alpha2

receptor subtype that leads to increased HR, force of contraction,

speed of AV conduction, and causes the release of renin in the

kidneys .....ANSWER..... Beta1

receptor subtype that causes dilation of arterioles in the heart,

lungs, and skeletal muscles, bronchial dilation, uterine relaxation,

glycogenolysis, and enhanced contraction of skeletal muscles
