Acetylcholine plays an important role in cognition and memory as well as in a host of other physical functions (e.g., heart, lung, gastrointestinal tract). Cholinergic receptors are classified as either nicotinic or muscarinic, depending on their differential sensitivities to the extrinsic molecules nicotine and muscarine.A site in a nerve synapse or effector cell that responds to the effect of acetylcholine."}
