alpha 1 agonist response
- **vasoconstriction**
- close sphincters in bladder + urethra
- dilate pupil (mydriasis)
alpha 2 agonist response
- **inhibition of NE release**
- **vasoconstriction**
- inhibit sympathetic neurotransmission (at presynaptic)
Beta 1 agonist response
- increase HR
- increase contractility
- increase AV node conduction speed
- increase renin release
- increase NE release
- stimulate lipolysis
Beta 2 agonist response
- vasodilation
- bronchodilation
- uterine, bladder relaxation
- pupil constriction (eye dilator muscle relax)

Alpha 2 agonist clinical uses
- blood pressure lowering
- sedation
list alpha agonists in order from greatest a1 effect => greatest a2 effect
a1>a2 =>=>=>=> a2>a1

Norepinephrine | Epinephrine | Dopamine | alpha-Methyldopa | Clonidine | Dexmedetomidine
alpha 2 agonist adverse effects
- sedation
- dry mouth
- bradycardia

Reserpine MoA + effects?
- inhibit NE uptake to storage vesicles
- decrease peripheral resistance
- decrease myocardial contractility

=>=> sedation, decreased blood pressure
alpha-1 receptor antagonist effects

- less reflex tachycardia than non-selective agents
Beta-1 receptor blocker effects
- reduced heart rate
- slow AV nodal conduction
- decrease BP
Beta 2 receptor blocker effects
