Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Muscarinic receptors are a type of acetylcholine receptor found in various body systems. Blocking these receptors affects the eyes (causing dilation), the respiratory system (by reducing secretions and potentially relaxing airway muscles), and the cardiac system (by increasing heart rate and potentially affecting blood pressure).
