Answer to Question 1

Ans: B, C
Feedback:
a- and b-adrenergic blockers are classified as sympatholytic drugs.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Stimulation of beta-1 receptors leads to an increase in heart rate and an increase in the force of myocardial contraction. Peripheral vasoconstriction occurs when alpha-1 receptors are stimulated. Decreased gastrointestinal motility and secretions occur when alpha-2 receptors are stimulated. Bronchodilation occurs when beta-2 receptors are stimulated.
