How does terbutaline work as a bronchodilator and what is its specific mechanism of action in relaxing airway muscles?
Terbutaline is a β2-adrenergic agonist that binds to receptors on airway smooth muscle, activating adenylate cyclase to increase cAMP levels, which relaxes the muscles and opens airways.
