Summary Introduction

To determine:

The possibility for the stimulation of adrenergic receptors to result in either vasodilation or vasoconstriction of the selected vessels of the blood.

Concept introduction:

There are cholinergic as well as adrenergic receptors. The signalling molecules like hormones or neurotransmitters are known as ligands as they get bound to the receptors. The ligands class, which bind to the receptors (adrenergic) in neurons is known as the monoamines or biogenic amines.
