'If a physiological dose of an experimental drug was administered; and the subject responded to the chemical; which would indicate that this drug is an epinephrine agonist? heart rate decreases intestinal smooth muscle contractions slow down blood pressure decreases intestinal smooth muscle contractions speed up'
Suman K.
Inhibition of smooth muscle cell contraction decreases blood flow to the xris. Erythema and dilation of peripheral blood vessels increase insudiferous gland secretion. There is an increase in the release of the hormone TRH, which is associated with the digestive state. There is also an increase in protein anabolism. The release of the hormone insulin increases, leading to an increase in glycogenesis. Additionally, there is an increase in gluconeogenesis and the release of the hormone glucagon.
