Autonomic nervous system target tissues

Because these agents are adrenergic agonists, they can potentially affect all target tissues innervated by the adrenergic division of the autonomic nervous system. Caution should be exercised in patients with cardiovascular disease, hyperthyroidism, and diabetes. 

The prostaglandins and thromboxanes have major effects on four types of smooth muscle airway, gastrointestinal, reproductive, and vascular. Other important targets include platelets and monocytes, kidneys, the central nervous system, autonomic presynaptic nerve terminals, sensory nerve endings, endocrine organs, adipose tissue, and the eye (the effects on the eye may involve smooth muscle).
