So I guess I'm not really sure how the u-opioid receptor works. It seems like a lot of the effects of morphine (dry mouth, miosis, constipation) are due to decreased Ach release. Can someone explain the MOA to me?

Thanks

Mu is just one type of receptor there are many which produce the side effects
