    Study Notes

    Adrenergic Receptors

    • Sympathomimetic drugs directly activate adrenergic receptors.

    Location of Adrenergic Receptors

    • Adrenergic receptors are primarily located in the heart, smooth muscle, and glands.

    Receptors in Vasculature

    • Beta-2 receptors are present in the vasculature of skeletal muscles.

    Adrenergic Neurotransmitter

    • Norepinephrine is the neurotransmitter primarily used by adrenergic neurons.

    Sympatholytics

    • Sympatholytics block the action of adrenergic neurons, reducing sympathetic activity.
