Answer 1

Sympathomimetics are adrenergic agonists that mimic the effects of the sympathetic nervous system.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sympathomimetics are a type of agonists that mimic the effects of the sympathetic nervous system. They are adrenergic agonists, meaning they bind to and activate adrenergic receptors. These agonists can directly stimulate adrenergic receptors, or they can indirectly enhance the release or inhibit the reuptake of norepinephrine, which is a neurotransmitter of the sympathetic nervous system.
