Unique characteristic of sympathetic nervous system is that:

Acetylcholine is synthesised from:

Which cholinergic neurone will have voltage-gated calcium channels at the synapse?

What is the main function of Acetylcholine esterase?

Why is atropine an antidote for nerve

What is the function of calcium in presynaptic nerve at the synapse?

What happens in stage 3 at a cholinergic synapse?

Which neurotransmitter is used at the neuromuscular junction?

Indirect-acting cholinergic drugs are:

Neostigmine is:

Which of these is NOT a cholinergic drug effect?

2. Lacrimation
3. Urinary incontinence
4. Diarrhoea

Pancuronium is:

Parasympathomimetics are drugs that:

Opening of the eye pupil could be achieved by:

Organophosphates are potent:

Myasthenia gravis is caused by

Hyoscine is most similar to:
Neostigmine
Atropine
Pancuronium (muscle relaxant -> anti cholinergic -> targets neuromuscular junction)

Overdose of neostigmine could be treated with:
