Beta-1 receptors are found in the heart, and when stimulated will increase herat rate and cardiac contractility. Beta-2 receptors are found on vascular smooth muscle located in the heart and skeletal muscle, and when they are activated, they dilate and decrease SVR.
adrenergic r's receptors for epinephrine or norepinephrine, such as those on effector organs innervated by postganglionic adrenergic fibers of the sympathetic nervous system. There are two types, alpha-adrenergic receptors and beta-adrenergic receptors. alpha r's (alpha-adrenergic r's) adrenergic receptors found in cardiac muscle and vascular smooth muscle; they are stimulated by norepinephrine and blocked by agents such as phenoxybenzamine.
