In one signaling pathway, cyclic AMP (or cAMP) acts as a second messenger in a series of reactions that result in the relaxation of smooth muscle cells in artery walls. Define cyclic AMP and describe the role and properties of a second messenger. Then explain how a medication designed to increase blood flow to the heart muscle would probably affect this signaling pathway.
