Beta-1 receptors are found in the heart, and when stimulated will increase herat rate and cardiac contractility. Beta-2 receptors are found on vascular smooth muscle located in the heart and skeletal muscle, and when they are activated, they dilate and decrease SVR.
In smooth muscle cells of blood vessels the principal effect of activation of these receptors is vasoconstriction. Blood vessels with Î± 1 -adrenergic receptors are present in the skin, the sphincters of gastrointestinal system, kidney (renal artery) and brain.
