If acetylcholine ACh binds to muscarinic receptors in the GI tract, its action is:
Stimulatory and it causes contraction of smooth muscles and sphincters in the
Gl tract
Inhibitory and it causes relaxation of smooth muscles and sphincters in the GI
tract
Inhibitory and it causes contraction of smooth muscles and sphincters in the Gl
tract
It is neither stimulatory nor inhibitory because acetylcholine ACh does not bind
to muscarinic receptors. It binds to alpha 1 and beta 1 receptors.
