The adrenergic receptors of the intraocular muscles of the human eye.
The adrenergic receptors in man were analyzed using isolated sphincter, dilator, and ciliary muscle strips, dissected from eyebank eyes. The dilator is mainly alpha, the sphincter both alpha and beta, and the ciliary muscle predominantly beta adrenergic.
