Which of the following are types of cholinergic receptors?
A)Nicotinic and adrenergic receptors
B)Muscarinic and somatic receptors
C)Adrenergic and somatic receptors

E)Somatostatic and nicotinic receptors

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nicotinic and muscarinic receptors are both types of cholinergic receptors. Nicotinic receptors are found in the neuromuscular junction and respond to acetylcholine released by motor neurons, while muscarinic receptors are found in various organs and tissues, including the heart, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract, and respond to acetylcholine released by parasympathetic neurons. Adrenergic and somatic receptors are not types of cholinergic receptors, and somatostatic receptors are not a known type of receptor.
