Abstract
A review is given of the literature concerning the autonomic innervation of airway smooth muscle. The cholinergic, adrenergic and non‐cholinergic non‐adrenergic (NANC) systems in humans and several animal species are discussed. The diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities and limitations of new receptor specific agonists and antagonists are also discussed.Keywords
