Question: 1 / 400

What mechanism is primarily associated with beta agonists' effect on the lungs?

Reduction of cAMP levels

Stimulation of beta2-adrenergic receptors

Beta agonists primarily work by stimulating beta2-adrenergic receptors in the lungs, causing relaxation of the airway muscles and opening up the airways. A is incorrect because beta agonists actually increase cAMP levels. C is incorrect because blocking alpha receptors does not have an effect on the lungs. D is incorrect because inactivation of adenylate cyclase would decrease cAMP levels, which is opposite of what beta agonists do.
