Nicotinic and muscarinic receptors are classified as cholinergic receptors.
A cholinergic receptor is an acceptor membrane protein for acetylcholine and its agonists.
- Acetylcholine mediates neural transmission at the ganglionic synapse of both systems - sympathetic and parasympathetic.
- They differ in nicotinic (inhibited by curare) and muscarinic (inhibited by atropine) receptors, the activation of which leads to different biological effects.
Therefore, we can conclude that acetylcholine acts through two types of cholinergic receptors: muscarinic and nicotinic.
