From TBR Chapter 1 Freestanding questions-
The question is "Nicotinic cholinergic receptors can be found at all of the following locations except:
A. cells of the adrenal medulla
B. autonomic nervous system ganglia
C. postganglionic parasympathetic neuron targets
D. endplates of motor neurons"
The answer is C, but I thought nAChRs are found in all of those places. Does it have something to do with nicotinic vs muscarinic ACh receptors? I'm having a hard time understanding the difference between the two.
