Summary Introduction

To determine: The name of important neurotransmitters and paracrines that are responsible for bronchoconstriction and bronchodilation.

Introduction: Air travels to the lungs with the help of trachea (windpipe). The trachea divides into two branches which open in both the lungs. These branches are called bronchi. Bronchi are again divided into several bronchioles.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The name of receptors through which paracrine and neurotransmitters act.

Introduction: Paracrines are the hormones that diffuse from their from their target and target the nearby cells in the neighbourbood. The neurotransmitters are released by nerve cells at the empty space known as synapse, where they are taken by next nerve cell and the information is carried on.
