Adrenergic receptors

Dr. Morton explains adrenergic receptors, which bind norepinephrine and epinephrine. The tutorial covers alpha and beta receptors, their subtypes, locations, and physiological effects. Alpha receptors are linked to vasoconstriction and pupil dilation, while beta receptors affect heart rate, kidney function, and bronchodilation. Clinical correlations include treatments for BPH and asthma. The video concludes with a summary of adrenergic receptor functions.
