Question

Please help me, idk if my answer is correct and I am trying to use this to study!!

In order to figure out what type of receptor was being affected, you added a drug
that stimulates G-protein coupled receptors and then muscle started contracting
again. The receptor was
Nicotinic
Muscarinic

Expert Solution

Introduction

The relaxation and contraction of muscles are essential for the movement of limbs. The signaling from the external environment induces an action potential in the neuron which cause the release of neurotransmitter in the neuromuscular junction. Based on the type of neurotransmitter released (either excitatory or inhibitory), the contraction or relaxation of muscles occurs.

A muscle cell contains acetylcholine receptors that act as ligand-gated cation channels,and it also contains voltage-gated Na+ channels of the type found in neurons.

Why or why not?

Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/neurotrans) to learn about the release of a neurotransmitter. The action potential reaches the end of the axon, called the axon terminal, and a chemical signal is released to tell the target cell to do something, either initiate a new action potential, or to suppress that activity. In a very short space, the electrical signal of the action potential is changed into the chemical signal of a neurotransmitter, and then back to electrical changes in the target cell membrane. What is the importance of voltage-gated calcium channels in the release of neurotransmitters?
Receptor adaptation results when:a. sensory neurons stop sending action potentialsb. a stimulus is discontinuedc. action potentials from different neurons cancel one another outd. the action potentials do not reach the brain
