Define Alpha1, Alpha2, Beta1, Beta2 and where are they located

Alpha1 is mostly vasoconstriction with mild bronchoconstriction, and increased metabolism. Located in the post-synaptic junction

Alpha2 serve as inhibitors of excess norepinephrine release (prevents over constriction) Located in the pre synaptic junction

Beta1 Increased heart rate (positive chronotropy), Increased contractile force (positive inotropy), Increased conduction (Positive Dromotropy), Release of renin from the kidneys. Located in the cardiac muscles

Beta2 Dilation of arterioles, Dilation of bronchi, Inhibition of uterine contraction, Tremors in Skeletal muscle. Located in smooth muscle
