Question

sympathomimetic drugs might be used to

increase gastric motility.
decrease heart rate.
dilate airways.
reduce blood sugar levels.
decrease blood pressure.

check answer

Explanation:

Sympathomimetic drugs mimic the effects of the sympathetic nervous system. They cause bronchodilation (dilating airways) by acting on beta - 2 adrenergic receptors. Gastric motility is decreased (not increased) as the sympathetic nervous system inhibits digestive processes. Heart rate is increased (not decreased) due to beta - 1 adrenergic receptor activation. Blood sugar levels are increased (not reduced) as the sympathetic system promotes glycogenolysis. Blood pressure is increased (not decreased) due to vasoconstriction (alpha - 1 adrenergic receptor effects in some blood vessels) and increased cardiac output (beta - 1 effects).

Answer:

dilate airways.
