Introduction | Control Experiment | Pretreatment Experiment | Self-evaluation Control Experiment Acetylcholine Acetylcholine acts as an agonist of both muscarinic and nicotinic receptors. However, the affinity for muscarinic receptors is much greater than the affinity for nicotinic receptors. Therefore, unless the muscarinic receptors are blocked one almost never observes nicotinically mediated responses following injection of [...]
High Blood Pressure Treatment Symptoms, Causes, Treatment
High Blood Pressure Treatment (cont.) Alpha-blockers Alpha-blockers lower blood pressure by blocking alpha-receptors in the smooth muscle of peripheral arteries throughout the tissues of the body. The alpha-receptors are part of the sympathetic nervous system, as are the beta-receptors. The alpha-receptors, however, serve to narrow (constrict) the peripheral arteries and the alpha-blockers cause the peripheral [...]
