What are the effects of activation of the following receptors? Kindly include the organ-specific effects and all drugs that agonize and antagonize these receptors.
Alpha-1, alpha-2, beta-1, beta-2, acetylcholine
(nicotinic-M, muscarinic)
Alpha-1 receptor: Blood vessels with this receptor are present in kidney, GIT, skin, Brain. It causes vasoconstriction.
salivary glands secretion increases, Na reabsorption from kidney.
Agonists: Methoxamine, Phenylephrine.
Antagonist: Prazosin , terazosin
Alpha-2: Decreased secretion from salivary glands, Relax GIT, decreases motility of smooth muscles.
Agonist: Clonidine, Imidazole
Antagonist: Yohimbine, Phentolamine.
Beta-1: Relaxation of brinchial smooth muscles, stimulate renin release from kidney
Agonist: Dobutamine
Antagonist: Atenolol
Beta-2:Dilatation of Bronchial passage, relaxation of uterine muscle
agonist: Alupent
