Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sweat glands contain muscarinic cholinergic receptors, which are activated by the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. When these receptors are stimulated, they activate the sweat glands to produce and release sweat. Nicotinic cholinergic receptors are found at neuromuscular junctions, while alpha, beta, and adrenergic receptors are involved in other types of functions such as blood vessel constriction and dilation.
