Affinity for different agonists, their locations throughout the body, the effects produced from their activation and supression. Presuming your talking about adrenergic receptors

Epinephrine has an affinity to what recepotor?

Epinephrine has an affinity for adrenergic receptors, particularly alpha and beta adrenergic receptors in the sympathetic nervous system.


What endogenous substance binds to beta 2 receptors?

The endogenous substance that binds to beta-2 adrenergic receptors is epinephrine (adrenaline), which is released from the adrenal medulla during the fight-or-flight response. Norepinephrine can also bind to beta-2 receptors, although it has a higher affinity for alpha receptors. Activation of beta-2 receptors leads to various physiological effects, including bronchodilation and vasodilation.


What receptors bind norepinephrine and epinephrine?

Norepinephrine and epinephrine primarily bind to adrenergic receptors in the body, specifically alpha and beta adrenergic receptors. These receptors are part of the sympathetic nervous system and facilitate the body's "fight or flight" response.


B adrenergic receptors are the only receptors found on the heart true or false?

False. While beta-adrenergic receptors are commonly found in the heart, there are also other types of receptors present, such as alpha-adrenergic receptors and muscarinic receptors, that play a role in regulating heart function.


Are beta receptors adrenergic and do they bind to norepinephrine and epinephrine?

Yes, beta receptors are adrenergic receptors, meaning they bind to adrenaline (epinephrine) and norepinephrine. There are three subtypes of beta receptors: Beta-1, Beta-2, and Beta-3, each with different functions and tissue distributions.

How does alpha differ from beta when talking about a video game?

Basically alpha is a prototype stage of the game and beta is like a phase of testing.

What are the properties of the alpha adrenergic receptors?

The alpha adrenergic receptors are located in the effector organs of sympathetic nervous system. They are the most common type of alpha adrenergic receptor. Alpha adrenergic receptors tend to be excitatory. They have a greater affinity for nonepinephrine than epinephrine.


Is the drug terazosin a beta blocker?

No, terazosin is not a beta blocker. It is an alpha-1 adrenergic antagonist used primarily to treat high blood pressure and benign prostatic hyperplasia. Unlike beta blockers, which primarily affect beta receptors in the heart and lungs, terazosin works by relaxing blood vessels and improving urinary flow by blocking alpha-1 receptors.


Neurotransmittor for the sympathetic nervous system?

The neurotransmitter for sympathetic nervous system is norepinephrine (or also called noradrenaline) that acts on adrenergic receptors of the effector organ (alpha 1, beta 1, beta 2 receptors). The adrenergic receptors are G-protein coupled.


What receptors bind norepinephrine and epinephrine?

Norepinephrine and epinephrine primarily bind to adrenergic receptors in the body, specifically alpha and beta adrenergic receptors. These receptors are part of the sympathetic nervous system and facilitate the body's "fight or flight" response.

Which type or receptors are located everywhere in the body except for the brain?

The alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptors are found throughout the body, including the cardiovascular system, smooth muscle, and glands. However, they are not typically located in the brain.


What is the difference between the alpha and beta anomeric carbon in carbohydrates?

The alpha and beta anomeric carbons in carbohydrates differ in the orientation of the hydroxyl group attached to them. In the alpha form, the hydroxyl group is on the opposite side of the ring from the CH2OH group, while in the beta form, the hydroxyl group is on the same side as the CH2OH group.
