Preferred Label : receptors, nicotinic;
MeSH definition : One of the two major classes of cholinergic receptors. Nicotinic receptors were originally
distinguished by their preference for NICOTINE over MUSCARINE. They are generally
divided into muscle-type and neuronal-type (previously ganglionic) based on pharmacology,
and subunit composition of the receptors.;
