Atropine is which type of drug?
Atropine is generally considered to be a cholinergic muscarinic receptor antagonist.
What would be the effect of atropine on the heart?
Atropine is a cholinergic antagonist which blocks the acetylcholine receptor causing increased sympathetic tone increasing the heart rate
What agent blocks enzymes resulting in a cholinergic?
What agent blocks enzymes resulting in a cholinergic crisis

Why does atropine effect histamine receptors?
It doesn't atropine only acts on muscarinic receptors (it's a competitive antagonist here for ACh), but histamine acts on different receptors (histamine receptors). There is no direct interaction between atropine and histamine receptors
What drug is taken to prevent symptoms of nerve agent exposure?
Atropine
What agent blocks enzymes resulting in a cholinergic crisis?
There are many. The enzymes that can be affected are choline acetyltransferase (for making acetylcholine), and acetylcholinesterase (for breaking down acetylcholine). The most commonly used enzyme inhibitors affecting the cholinergic system are the acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, such as physostigmine, or neostigmine, etc.
Which drug may have delayed absorption because of the adverse effect of cholinergic blocking agent?
betablockers
What is the antidote for nerve agent exposure with respiratory or neurological distress?
Atropine and pralidoxime chloride
How do you treat nerve agent exposure?
Atropine and 2-PAM Chloride are two that can be used. See the Wikipedia article for Nerve Agent
