alpha 2 (geographically)
alpha 2-adrenergic receptors in the brain=> reduces sympathetic outflow from the CNS
decreases peripheral resistance, renal vascular resistance, heart rate, and blood pressure
Alpha-2 agonists are often used for nasal decongestion. That is, if you have nasal congestion, use drugs that activate alpha2

| Mnemonics: Alpha 2 = alpha x alpha = al-pha-pha = alfafa = relaxation CNS = decreased BP/HR |

| Mnemonics: Alpha2 = alpha x alpha = al-pha-pha = alfafa = constricted Peripherally (outdoor = outside) = vasoconstriction |
