Describe the effects that adrenergics have on the body.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. Adrenergics (also known as vasoconstrictors) act by mimicking the action of norepinephrine and epinephrine by combining with alpha and beta receptors or as a result of, or regulation of, the release of neurohormones from their storage sites at the nerves' terminals. They raise blood pressure by causing the blood vessels to contract. They are used in the treatment of shock, heart block (failure of electrical impulses to stimulate the heartbeat), and adverse reactions to medications.
