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.
How does curare cause muscle paralysis?
Curare is a competitive inhibitor of acetylcholine. It fights with acetycholine for postsynaptic receptors.
What happens when acetylcholine receptors are blocked?
There are several compounds and drugs that may block acetylcholine receptors. They are collectively known as cholinergic antagonists.
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 fiber is destroyed by sweat?
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.
What is released to muscle cell receptors to trigger muscle contractions?
Acetylcholine
