Which of the following is accurate about a beta receptor? a. It binds acetylcholine. b. Its effects are excitatory (stimulatory) only. c. It causes general vasoconstriction. d. It increases heart rate.

This fact is excellent evidence to prove that the nervous system normally controlling the diameter of the arterial blood vessels is the: a. Somatosensory nervous system b. Sympathetic nervous system c. Reticular attenuating nervous system d. Parasympathetic nervous system

Select one: a. Activation of the receptor increases blood pressure. b. It is the target of acetylcholine.  c. Activation of the receptor decreases heart rate. d. It is expressed predominantly in cardiac tissue. e. Activation of the receptor leads to systemic vasodilation.
