Abstract:
A review is given of the literature concerning the autonomic innervation of airway smooth muscle. The cholinergic, adrenergic and non-cholinergic non-adrenergic (NANC) systems in humans and several animal species are discussed. The diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities and limitations of new receptor specific agonists and antagonists are also discussed.
