Questions and Answers

What is the primary effect of noradrenaline on blood pressure?

  • It causes a decrease in blood pressure due to stimulation of β2 receptors
  • It causes an increase in blood pressure due to stimulation of α1 receptors (correct)
  • It has no effect on blood pressure
  • It causes a decrease in blood pressure due to stimulation of β1 receptors

    • What is the effect of noradrenaline on heart rate?
