Primarily stimulates the beta 1 receptors of the heart which results in an increase in myocardial contractility and heart rate. In addition, it also has some simultaneous effects on both the beta 2 and alpha 1 receptors. The simultaneous stimulation of these two receptors by _______________ results in a cancellation of their individual functions and thus the vascular tone does not change.
