18. When norepinephrine (noradrenaline) activates the a1 adrenergic receptor in the vascular smooth muscle in skin and viscera, it stimulates: a. Vasodilation b. Vasoconstriction c. Norepinephrine does not bind the a1 adrenergic receptor.

Step 1
We need to determine whether this activation leads to vasodilation, vasoconstriction, or if norepinephrine does not bind to the α1 adrenergic receptor. Show more…

6. Nicotinic receptors bind: A. acetylcholine and allow chloride ions to exit the cell. B. acetylcholine and allow sodium ions to enter the cell. C. muscarine and increase the contractility of intestinal muscle. D. norepinephrine and can either stimulate or inhibit the cell. E. norepinephrine and allow potassium entry, thereby exciting the cell. 7. Muscarinic receptors are proteins that bind the neurotransmitter: A. acetylcholine. B. epinephrine. C. norepinephrine. 8. Stimulation of β2 receptors in the lung causes: A. bronchoconstriction. B. bronchodilation. 9. In the heart, activation of these receptors increases heart rate. A. α1 B. α2 C. β1 D. β2 Trace the path leading to the effector for #9 starting in the CNS (brain or spinal cord). Include the name for the receptors on the receptive segment of the postganglionic neuron and on the effector.
