beta 1 increases HR, mimics the response the heart would do on
its own)
Antagonists: blocks the response, turns off (alpha/beta blocker)

responses Correct Answers Partial agonists: do the job but not
quite as much as an agonist; the drug has multiple affects
Nonreceptor responses: drugs that don't effect receptors at all
(ex. antibiotics)
