Pharmacologic control of the airway is mediated by receptors found on which of the following structures?
1) Smooth muscle
2) Secretory cells
3) Blood vessels
4) Alveolar epithelium

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pharmacologic control of the airway targets receptors on smooth muscle to modulate bronchoconstriction or dilation, on secretory cells to adjust mucus production, and on blood vessels to influence vascular tone and permeability, affecting edema and blood flow. Alveolar epithelium is primarily involved in gas exchange rather than pharmacologic control of airway dynamics.
