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).

What do Muscarinic receptors bind?
Acetylcholine.
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.
How atropine cause hyperthermia?
Atropine antagonises central muscarinic receptors (remember, the parasympathetic nervous system is made up of muscarinic and nicotinic receptors). This muscarinic receptor antagonising alters temperature regulation in the hypothalamus -- the mechanism how it works is unfortunately not understood. But is is known that it reduces blood flow to the skin, thus reducing the ability for the body to lose heat and increasing body temperature. Similar to Adrenaline (Epinephrine for you North American types) I take it, although a brief search could not link adrenaline to hyperthermia (if you know of anything, please let me know).
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 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 two types of receptors that bind acetylcholine?
Nicotinic; muscarinic
What are the muscarinic receptors blockers?
Atropine
What do Muscarinic receptors bind?
Acetylcholine.
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
What are two types of receptors that bind acetylcholine?
nicotinic and muscarinic
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.
Do epinephrine use g-protein linked receptors?
Epinephrine or more commonly known as adrenaline bind to adrenergic receptors. These adrenergic receptors are a type of G-protein coupled receptors
What are Agonist and antagonist of muscarinic receptors?
Agonist is muscarine and antagonist is atropine.
