Summary Introduction
To explain:
The function and other applications of the alpha-blocker drugs in the body.
Introduction:
The alpha adrenergic drugs bind to the receptors in the neurons and block the release of the neurotransmitter noradrenaline. They relax the muscles thus increasing the surface area of the blood vessels. This causes the increase in the supply of oxygen and nutrients in the blood vessels. The blood pressure is reduced due to the decrease in the flow of blood. They are used in the treatment of heart failure and hypertension.
