Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stimulation of beta-adrenergic receptors can lead to an increase in metabolic activity, which corresponds to an increase in heart rate and force of heart contraction. Additionally, stimulation of these receptors leads to the breakdown of triglycerides within adipocytes, making their energy available for use. However, stimulation of beta-adrenergic receptors does not directly stimulate airway smooth muscle. It is stimulation of beta-2 adrenergic receptors specifically that leads to relaxation of airway smooth muscle.
