Question Answer
No of Receptor Types 3
B1- Location The heart
B1- Role Inc force/rate of contraction when stimulated
B2- Location Relaxation of smooth muscle in many organs (i.e. the trachea)
B2- Role In Muscle and Liver Partial (hepatic) and total (muscle) glycogenlysis and gluconeogenesis
B2- Role (Rest of Body) Vaso/sphincter relaxation, muscle tremor, inc insulin scretion, inc release of CAs from nerve
B3- Location Adipose tissue (specifically brown fat)
B3- Role Responsible for lipolysis & thermogenesis
B Receptor Coupled Protein Adenylate cyclase- inc. cAMP levels
Effect of Beta Agonists Vasodilators and inc cardiac output
