Question

Atropine is an acetylcholine antagonist. Does atropine inhibit or enhance the effects of acetylcholine? Describe your results and how they correlate with how the drug works. How well did the results compare with your prediction?

Answer 1

Atropine is highly potent antagonist of G-Class proteins of receptors termed as muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. Atropine blocks the action of these receptors and suppress the effects caused by parasympathetic nervous system. These complications of Atropine may lead to Tachycardia in patients administrated with atropine.
