Question

5. Norepinepherine has widespread effects on smooth and cardiac muscle (which we don't consciously control). The activity in some areas (e.g. heart, lungs, brain) is increased, whereas the activity in other areas (stomach, intestines) is decreased. How is it possible for the same neurotransmitter to have such varied effects?
