So beta 2 agonist has below properties according to FC:

1. vasodilation
2. bronchodilation
3. increased lipolysis
4. increased release of insulin
5. decreased uterine contractions = tocolysis
6. relaxation of ciliary musculature
7. increased production of aq. humor

To me 3 and 4 seem to be conflicting. Does anyone have any insight on this?
 
Also I don't think that 6 is correct. AFAIK the sole innervation for the ciliary muscles is parasympathetic, hence why cycloplegia is a finding with antimuscarinics but not beta agonists.
