Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All three options (µ, δ, and κ) are types of opiate receptors. The µ receptor is the primary target for most opioid medication and is associated with pain relief, euphoria, and respiratory depression. The δ receptor also plays a role in pain management, but is less well understood than the µ receptor. The κ receptor is involved in pain perception, mood, and desire for drugs, and is targeted by some opioids as well. Therefore, all the options given in the question are types of opiate receptors.
