motility and the secretion of epinephrine by the adrenal medulla, before and after using a
beta blocker such as propranolol.
Before Propanolol, HR, BP, gut motility and epi. secretion by adrenal medulla would all increase

After Propanolol, B1 and B2 are blocked, HR, BP and gut mot. all would decrease but adrenal medulla activity would still be increased because there are not B receptors involved.
Describe the effects of epinephrine that help you to deal with a stressful situation, like if
you were running for your life. Include the type of receptors used for each effect.
B1 - Heart - incr. HR and contractility

B2 - smooth muscle relaxation - incr. pulmonary ventilation and blood flow to muscles

a1 - vasoconstriction - skin and gut - diverts to skeletal muscle - pupil dilation mydriasis

a2 vasodilation of coronary and pial endothelial - incr. blood to heart and brain
Why ganglionic nicotinic receptor antagonists are rarely used clinically?
