According to Figure 45.20 and the accompanying text, which statement accurately describes how epinephrine elicits varied responses in different target cells?

• A: Liver cells and smooth muscle cells supplying skeletal muscle respond differently to epinephrine primarily because they express different types of receptors.
• B: The smooth muscle cells of blood vessels supplying skeletal muscle and those supplying intestines both use beta-receptors, but activate different intracellular pathways.
• C: Epinephrine's effect on liver cells and smooth muscle cells supplying skeletal muscle demonstrates that the same receptor can trigger distinct outcomes due to differences in intracellular signaling.
• D: Vasoconstriction in intestinal blood vessels and vasodilation in skeletal muscle blood vessels are both mediated by the same alpha-type receptor.
