Circulatory system

Heart

Target Sympathetic (adrenergic) Parasympathetic (muscarinic)
cardiac output β1, (β2): increases M2: decreases
SA node: heart rate (chronotropic) β1, (β2):[1] increases M2: decreases
Atrial cardiac muscle: contractility (inotropic) β1, (β2):[1] increases M2: decreases
at AV node β1:
increases conduction
increases cardiac muscle automaticity[1]
M2:
decreases conduction
Atrioventricular block[1]
Ventricular cardiac muscle β1, (β2):
increases contractility (inotropic)
increases cardiac muscle automaticity[1]

Blood vessels

Target Sympathetic (adrenergic) Parasympathetic (muscarinic)
vascular smooth muscle in general α1:[2] contracts; β2:[2] relaxes M3: relaxes[1]
renal artery α1:[3] constricts ---
larger coronary arteries α1 and α2:[4] constricts[1] ---
smaller coronary arteries β2: dilates[5] ---
arteries to viscera α: constricts ---
arteries to skin α: constricts ---
arteries to brain α1:[6] constricts[1] ---
arteries to erectile tissue α1:[7] constricts M3: dilates
arteries to salivary glands α: constricts M3: dilates
hepatic artery α: constricts ---
arteries to skeletal muscle β2: dilates ---
Veins α1 and α2:[8] constricts
β2: dilates
---

Other

Target Sympathetic (adrenergic) Parasympathetic (muscarinic)
platelets α2: aggregates ---
mast cells - histamine β2: inhibits ---

Respiratory system

Target Sympathetic (adrenergic) Parasympathetic (muscarinic)
smooth muscles of bronchioles* β2:[2] relaxes (major contribution)
α1: contracts (minor contribution)
M3:[2] contracts

The bronchioles have no sympathetic innervation, but are instead affected by circulating adrenaline[1]

Visual system

Target Sympathetic (adrenergic) Parasympathetic (muscarinic)
Pupil dilator muscle α1: Dilates
(causes mydriasis)
Iris sphincter muscle - M3: contracts
(causes miosis)
Ciliary muscle β2: relaxes
(causes long-range focus)
M3: contracts
(causes short-range focus)

Digestive system

Target Sympathetic (adrenergic) Parasympathetic (muscarinic)
salivary glands: secretions β: stimulates viscous, amylase secretions
α1: stimulates potassium secretions
M3: stimulates watery secretions
lacrimal glands (tears) β: stimulates protein secretion[9] secretion of tears by stimulating muscarinic receptors (M3)
juxtaglomerular apparatus of kidney β1:[2] renin secretion ---
parietal cells --- M1: Gastric acid secretion
liver α1, β2: glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis ---
adipose cells β1,[2] β3: stimulates lipolysis ---
GI tract (smooth muscle) motility α1, α2,[10] β2: decreases M3, (M1):[1] increases
sphincters of GI tract α1,[2] α2,[1] β2: contracts M3:[2] relaxes
glands of GI tract no effect[1] M3: secretes

Endocrine system

Target Sympathetic (adrenergic) Parasympathetic (muscarinic)
pancreas (islets) α2: decreases insulin secretion from beta cells, increases glucagon secretion from alpha cells M3:[11][12] increases secretion of both insulin and glucagon.[11][12]
adrenal medulla N (nicotinic ACh receptor): secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine ---

Urinary system

Target Sympathetic (adrenergic) Parasympathetic (muscarinic)
Detrusor urinae muscle of bladder wall β2,[2] β3:[13] relaxes M3:[2] contracts
internal urethral sphincter α1:[2] contracts M3:[2] relaxes

Reproductive system

Target Sympathetic (adrenergic) Parasympathetic (muscarinic)
uterus α1: contracts (pregnant[1])
β2: relaxes (non-pregnant[1])
---
genitalia α1: contracts (ejaculation) M3: erection

Integumentary system

Target Sympathetic (muscarinic and adrenergic) Parasympathetic
sweat gland secretions α1: stimulates (minor contribution) M:[2] stimulates (major contribution)
arrector pili α1: stimulates ---
