What are the two cholinergic receptors?
Ach binds to these
- Nicotinic
- Muscarinic
Nicotinic - respond to nicotine and acetylcholine
Muscarinic - respond to muscarine and acetylcholine
What are the effects of Ach at nicotinic receptors?
Stimulatory
Found in:
- motor end plates of skeletal muscle cells
- all ganglionic neurons
- hormone-producing cells of adrenal medulla
What are the effects of ACh at muscarinic receptors?
- be either inhibitory or excitatory
- depends on the receptor type of the targeted organ
What are the two types adrenergic receptors?
alpha and beta
What does the effect of NE depend on regarding adrenergic receptors?
on which subclass of receptor predominates on the target organ
