What statement describes nicotinic acetylcholine ACh receptors as opposed to muscarinic ACh receptors?
Nicotinic receptors are closed until ACh molecules bind to the receptor proteins.
Does epinephrine affect the muscarinic receptors?
No. Muscarinic receptors are affected by acetylcholinergic neurotransmitters (ie. muscarine, atropine). Only the parasympathetic nervous system have muscarinic receptors. Epinephrine affects adrenergic receptors (symapthetic nervous system).
Muscarinic receptors are inhibitory and excitatory?
Depending on the effector organ it can be inhibitory or excitatory. The muscarinic receptors are activated from the parasympathetic nervous system. So the effect of muscarinic receptors activated on the heart, it will slow the heart down. However, on the gastrointestinal tract, it will increase motility.
What are Agonist and antagonist of muscarinic receptors?
Agonist is muscarine and antagonist is atropine.
What is ACh receptors?
ACH receptors can be defined as an integral membrane protein that responds to the binding of acetylcholine, a neuoyansmitter. Two example are nicotinic acetyl line receptors and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. .
What are The two types of receptors that bind acetylcholine?
Nicotinic; muscarinic
What are two types of receptors that bind acetylcholine?
nicotinic and muscarinic

Does atropine block only nicotinic receptors?
Atropine does not only block nicotinic receptors but also acetylcholine at muscarinic receptors
What type of receptors are found in the urinary bladder?
Muscarinic receptors
What are the muscarinic receptors blockers?
Atropine
The two types of receptors that bind acetylcholine are?
nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR, also known as "ionotropic" acetylcholine receptors) are particularly responsive to nicotinemuscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR, also known as "metabotropic" acetylcholine receptors) are particularly responsive to muscarine.Nicotinic and muscarinic are two main kinds of "cholinergic" receptors.
Muscarinic receptors are found on?
Organs innervated by the parasympathetic nervous system. One addition to that are sweat glands. They are innervated by sympathetic nervous system, however, they have muscarinic receptors, NOT adrenergic receptors.
Muscarinic receptors are inhibitory and excitatory?
Depending on the effector organ it can be inhibitory or excitatory. The muscarinic receptors are activated from the parasympathetic nervous system. So the effect of muscarinic receptors activated on the heart, it will slow the heart down. However, on the gastrointestinal tract, it will increase motility.
What receptor is responsible for the secretion of salivary amylase?
muscarinic receptors
Why atropine has no effect on blood pressure?
The muscarinic receptors in the vasculature are not inneravated by the parasympathetic nervous system. Therefore, atropine binds to these receptors, but causes no response since it is a pure muscarinic antagonist.
