Question
Chapter 15.6, Problem 17WDYL
Summary Introduction
To determine:
If the effect is excitatory or inhibitory. When a nicotinic effector binds to a neurotransmitter.
Introduction:
The nicotinic effector bind to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. These are also called receptors based on the type of the target substance that binds to them. These are primarily located in the ganglionic neurons of both sympathetic and parasympathetic components of the nervous system.
