adrenergic agonist - ANSWERa drug that stimulates the adrenergic receptors of the sympathetic nervous system, either directly (by reacting with receptor sites) or indirectly (by increasing norepinephrine levels) alpha-agonist - ANSWERspecifically stimulating to the alpha-receptors within the sympathetic nervous system, causing body responses seen when the alpha-receptors are stimulated beta-agonist - ANSWERspecifically stimulating to the beta-receptors within the sympathetic nervous system...

Cholinergic (parasympathomimetic) drugs have which therapeutic effect? -Urinary retention -Increased gastrointestinal motility -Mydriasis -Vasoconstriction -Increased gastrointestinal motility Cholinergic effects mimic the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest) as opposed to the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight). Increasing gastrointestinal (GI) motility helps the body digest. Urinary retention, mydriasis, and vasoconstriction are sympathetic nervous system respon...
