ADRENERGIC RECEPTORS
1. ALPHA RECEPTORS:
1 & 2
2. BETA RECEPTORS:
1, 2 & 3
3. DOPAMINE RECEPTORS:
D1 & D2
Alpha-2
receptors are mainly presynaptic & their stimulation results in a decrease of NA release.
Beta-1: (+) inotropic effect ( force), (+) chronotropic effect (rate), (+) dromotropic effect (conduction acceleration) & increase of excitability
Beta-2 :
bronchodilatation, uterus , bladder & GIT relaxation.
Stimulation of glycogenolysis. Skeletal muscle tremors, vasodilatation of b.vs.

Questions
Which of the following agents would bring a rapid heart rate (120 beat/min) back to normal:
A. Dopamine B. Atropine C. Propranolol D. Phenylephrine E. Adrenaline
At therpapeutic doses, this drug dilates the bronchioles, increases heart rate and conduction but does not elevate BP: 1. Salbutamol.
2. Adrenaline. 3. Nor-adrenaline. 4. Prazosin.
5. Atropine.
A drug injected I.V. into a dog. Five minutes later, the following signs were observed : bradycardia broncho-constriction a fall in mean blood pressure. The drug most likely evoked these signs is :
Atenolol differ from propranolol in: 1. 2. 3. 4. Its oral absorption is complete. It does not affect the release of renin. It has more central side effects It has minimal risk of producing bronchospasm. 5. It does not inhibit gluconeogenesis
Epinephrine would cause a decrease in mean arterial blood pressure if it is administered after pre-treatment with :
A. A beta 1 antagonist . B. An alpha 1 antagonist . C. A beta 2 antagonist . D. A non-selective beta antagonist. E. Both alpha 1 and beta 1 antagonist
