Question

1. Alpha receptors
2. Muscarinic
3. Nicotinic
4. Beta receptors

Answer 1

3
Rationale 1: The term alpha is not used for these receptors.
Rationale 2: Muscarinic receptors are found at the ganglionic synapse of the parasympathetic nervous system.
Rationale 3: Nicotinic receptors are found at the ganglionic synapse of both sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
Rationale 4: The term beta is not used for these receptors.
Global Rationale: Nicotinic receptors are found at the ganglionic synapse of both sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Muscarinic receptors are found at the ganglionic synapse of the parasympathetic nervous system. The terms alpha and beta are not used for these receptors.
