leukotrienes play important roles. Mild episodic asthma is well managed with the intermittent use of short-acting inhaled beta 2 agonists, such as albuterol. Patients with more severe disease or frequent exacerbation rely on medication to control the disease, such as inhale corticosteroids.

infarction (post-MI). COPD is a progressive respiratory condition characterized by the inadequate airflow which makes the breathing more difficult. COPD patients are commonly treated with the bronchodilators such as the beta-2 adrenergic agonists.1 The beta-2 agonists stimulate…
Neural Regulation, EC Coupling, and Second Messenger System involvement with Bronchial Smooth Muscle Contraction and Relaxation Abstract Smooth muscles in human airways have multiple pathways for excitation and contraction. Both electrical and chemical signals regulate bronchial smooth muscle excitation. Bronchial smooth muscle is innervated by parasympathetic cholinergic nerves for contractile forces and by parasympathetic noncholinergic nerves for relaxant forces. Specifically, cholinergic…
