Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nicotinic ACh receptors are found in skeletal muscle, and problems with these receptors would affect skeletal muscles, causing weakness, lack of coordination, or even paralysis. Problems with ACh receptors in cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, or glands would likely involve different types of receptors, such as muscarinic ACh receptors or adrenergic receptors.
