K+ channels in the heart do not have binding sites for ACh, yet parasympathetic release of ACh causes outward flux of K+ from heart cells. How does this occur?  

A.  ACh triggers release of epinephrine from the adrenal glands, which in turn causes K+ flux out of heart cells. B.  ACh binds to a G-protein coupled receptor on heart cells, and the G protein alpha subunit binds to a separate K+ channel and causes it to open. C.  Parasympathetic neurons activate sympathetic neurons, which directly cause K+ flux from heart cells. D.  ACh binds and activates a K+ pump on heart cells.
