  2. Beta-2 adrenergic receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta-2_adrenergic_receptor

    The beta-2 adrenergic receptor (β 2 adrenoreceptor), also known as ADRB2, is a cell membrane-spanning beta-adrenergic receptor that binds epinephrine (adrenaline), a hormone and neurotransmitter whose signaling, via adenylate cyclase stimulation through trimeric G s proteins, increases cAMP, and, via downstream L-type calcium channel interaction, mediates physiologic responses such as smooth ...

  3. Beta2-adrenergic agonist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta2-adrenergic_agonist

    Beta 2-adrenergic agonists, also known as adrenergic β 2 receptor agonists, are a class of drugs that act on the β 2 adrenergic receptor. Like other β adrenergic agonists , they cause smooth muscle relaxation. β 2 adrenergic agonists' effects on smooth muscle cause dilation of bronchial passages , vasodilation in muscle and liver ...

  4. Vascular smooth muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_smooth_muscle

    Vascular smooth muscle contracts or relaxes to change both the volume of blood vessels and the local blood pressure, a mechanism that is responsible for the redistribution of the blood within the body to areas where it is needed (i.e. areas with temporarily enhanced oxygen consumption).

  5. Adrenergic blocking agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrenergic_blocking_agent

    Beta 2 blockers cease action of beta-2 receptor by blocking the receptor and preventing it from being activated. [6] Similar to beta-1 receptor, the activated beta-2 receptor will lead to the detach of alpha subunit of Gs protein and attachment of adenylate cyclase. [6] Adenosine triphosphate(ATP), is then catalyzed to form cAMP.

  6. Myogenic mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myogenic_mechanism

    The importance of the Bayliss effect in maintaining a constant capillary flow independently of variations in arterial blood pressure. Bayliss effect or Bayliss myogenic response is a special manifestation of the myogenic tone in the vasculature. [3] [4] The Bayliss effect in vascular smooth muscles cells is a response to

  7. Haemodynamic response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haemodynamic_response

    As a result, the heart has a hard time pumping blood through the lungs, and the blood vessels eventually undergoes fibrosis. The increased workload on the heart causes hypertrophy of the right ventricle, which leads less blood being pump through the lungs and decreased blood to the left side of the heart.

  8. School timetable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_timetable

    When timetables are constructed by hand, the process is often 10% mathematics and 90% politics, [2] leading to errors, inefficiencies, and resentment among teachers and students." [1] For the simplest school timetable, such as an elementary school, these conditions must be satisfied: [3] a teacher cannot teach two courses in the same time slot

  9. Platelet-derived growth factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platelet-derived_growth_factor

    Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is one among numerous growth factors that regulate cell growth and division.In particular, PDGF plays a significant role in blood vessel formation, the growth of blood vessels from already-existing blood vessel tissue, mitogenesis, i.e. proliferation, of mesenchymal cells such as fibroblasts, osteoblasts, tenocytes, vascular smooth muscle cells and ...
