B1 receptors are found in the Heart and Juxtaglomerular apparatus.

  #3

norepi will cause more of an increase in TPR (a>>B)
epi will cause more op an increase in HR (B>>a)

  #4

On the peripheral vessels there are two R.s with different Sensitivity : Alpha-1 and Beta-2.
In low Con. Alpha-1 is more responsive --> vasoconstriction
in High Conc. Beta-2 --> Vasodilation[/code]
