Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The receptor involved in the action of benzodiazepines is the GABAA receptor, which has a binding location for GABA and a binding location for benzodiazepines. However, it does not have a specific binding location for Valium or opioids (B) or CNS stimulants (C). The receptor does have a binding location for sedative hypnotics, including barbiturates (D), which can enhance the effect of GABA and benzodiazepines on the receptor.
