Anticholinergic drugs, also known as anticholinergic drugs, block the effects of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that activates cholinergic receptors in the body. These drugs work by inhibiting the action of acetylcholine at its receptors, leading to a range of physiological effects. Definition Anticholinergic drugs are a class of medications that block the effects of acetylcholine at […]
Cholinergic drugs are a class of medications that mimic or enhance the effects of acetylcholine. This neurotransmitter plays a vital role in the nervous system and the communication between nerve cells and muscles. Acetylcholine plays a role in various physiological processes, including muscle contraction, regulation of heart rate, gastrointestinal function, and memory. Cholinergic drugs can […]
Neurohumoral transmission is a process by which nerve signals are transmitted from one nerve cell (neuron) to another or from a neuron to an effector cell (such as a muscle or gland) by releasing chemical messengers, known as neurotransmitters or hormones. Process involves several steps 1. Action Potential Generation The process begins with generating an […]
