Hey guys,
I have been searching the literature left and right for a clear explanation of where muscarinic cholinergic receptors are located. Mainly, I think I am just tripped up by TBR's question:
"What type of protein receptor is found on the cell membrane of a postganglionic neuron?
A) Nicotinic
B) Muscarinic
C) Alpha adrenergic
D) Beta adrenergic
The answer they have is A. and do not provide an answer explanation. I thought muscarinic cholinergic receptors were located at postganglionic parasympathetic neuron targets... not nicotinic.
Can someone help clear this up for me?
