Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Epinephrine primarily acts on beta receptors (β1 and β2) in the body, leading to an increase in blood pressure and cardiac output. Option A and C refer to alpha (α) and beta (β) receptors, but option C has an incorrect receptor subtype (it should be β2 instead of β12). Option D is unclear and does not specify which type of receptors are being referred to.
