17
Q

The ganglions for both S and PS nervous systems have …….. receptors.

A

Cholinergic

18
Q

The receptors at ganglion synapses in PS are ……

A

Nicotinic

19
Q

The receptors at neuro-muscular junctions in PS are ……

A

Muscarinic

20
Q

What enzymes are present in the PS synapse?

A

AChE
chAT
HACU

21
Q

What are the ways in which a drug can effect cholinergic synaptic transmission?

A

Parasympathomimetic
Anti muscarinic
Block acetylcholine synthesis
Prevent acetylcholine release
AChE inhibitor

22
Q

How does a parasympathomimetic work?

A

Mimics ACh, encouraging action

23
Q

How does an antimuscarinic work?

A

Blocks muscarinic receptors, stopping normal action from occuring

24
Q

How does blocking ACh synthesis/release work?

A

If no ACh produced/sent, signal not sent

25
Q

How does inhibiting AChE work?

A

Stops the breaking down of ACh, meaning choline is not reuptaken, so less ACh is re-released, stopping or slowing signal
