    Study Notes

    Receptors and Their Functions

    • Muscarinic receptors are responsible for slowing down heart rate.
    • Activating the metabotropic M3 receptor increases smooth muscle contraction, particularly in the gastrointestinal and respiratory tract.
    • The M1 receptor subtype is involved in the release of adrenaline and noradrenaline from the adrenal medulla.
    • The nicotinic receptor at the neuromuscular junction is responsible for muscle contraction.
    • The alpha 1 receptor subtype, a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR), promotes the influx of calcium to increase heart rate.
    • Muscarinic receptors are found in the brain, autonomic ganglia, and peripheral tissues.
    • Activating the alpha q type G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) increases phospholipase C activity.
    • All nicotinic receptors are composed of five subunits.
    • The M1 subtype of muscarinic receptor is responsible for salivary and gastric acid secretion.
    • Activating the metabotropic M2 receptor slows down heart rate.
    • The M3 subtype of muscarinic receptor is responsible for smooth muscle contraction in the gastrointestinal and respiratory tract.
    • Activating the metabotropic M3 receptor increases smooth muscle contraction, particularly in the gastrointestinal and respiratory tract.
