What type of receptors are found in the heart that are stimulated by the parasympathetic nervous system?
1) Adrenergic receptors
2) Muscarinic receptors
3) Nicotinic receptors
4) GABAergic receptors
📝 Explanation:
The parasympathetic nervous system acts on muscarinic receptors (specifically M2 receptors) in the heart to decrease the heart rate and atrial contractility, thereby contributing to a resting state and energy conservation.
