Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acetylcholine is involved in muscle movement and memory formation, so blocking its action with an antagonist like Z2W could result in muscle paralysis and memory loss as side effects. General stimulation and increased heart rate (A), anxiety reduction and general relaxation (C), and hallucinations and disrupted sleep patterns (D) are not likely side effects of blocking acetylcholine.
