There are several compounds and drugs that may block acetylcholine receptors. They are collectively known as cholinergic antagonists.

∙ 9y agoThe muscles would become weak if the acetylcholine receptors become blocked. The muscles are no longer to contact because of the blockage, which is what happens in Myasthenia Gravis disease.

What are The two types of receptors that bind acetylcholine?
Nicotinic; muscarinic
Binding of the Acetylcholine to receptors causes a by opening what channels that permit both potassium and sodium to permeate the membrane?
Nicotinic by depolarization
Why is it difficult to smell something with blocked nose?
Because the mucus blocking your nose is preventing the smell receptors doing their 'job' properly.
What breaks down acetylcholine?
Acetylcholinesterase
Is acetylcholine only found at the neuromuscular junction?
False
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.
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. .
Does atropine block only nicotinic receptors?
Atropine does not only block nicotinic receptors but also acetylcholine at muscarinic receptors
What do Muscarinic receptors bind?
Acetylcholine.
What would happen to people exposed to a chemical warfare agent that blocked acetylcholine from binding to muscle receptors?
Muscle contractions would be prevented, causing paralysis.
How does curare cause muscle paralysis?
Curare is a competitive inhibitor of acetylcholine. It fights with acetycholine for postsynaptic receptors.
Where does the acetylcholine released for muscle contraction bind?
Sarcolema receptors
What are two types of receptors that bind acetylcholine?
nicotinic and muscarinic
Curare is a paralyzing poison that functions as what?
It functions as an Acetylcholine antagonists. Acetylcholine was the first neurotransmitter to be discovered. A nicotinic antagonist inhibits Acetylcholine's receptors.
What is released to muscle cell receptors to trigger muscle contractions?
Acetylcholine
What neurotransmitter is found at the synapse between nerves and human skeletal muscle cells?
Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter at the neuromuscular junction.
What will happen if Acetylcholine receptors are destroyed?
If the acetylcholine receptor was destroyed that the effector cells cannot respond or detect the neurotransmitter, resulting in muscle paralysis.
