Difference between Anticholinergic and Nicotine

Anticholinergic vs. Nicotine

An anticholinergic agent is a substance that blocks the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the central and the peripheral nervous system. Nicotine is a potent parasympathomimetic stimulant and an alkaloid found in the nightshade family of plants.

Similarities between Anticholinergic and Nicotine

Anticholinergic and Nicotine have 11 things in common (in Unionpedia): Acetylcholine, Alkaloid, Caffeine, Euphoria, Lung, Neurotransmitter, Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, Receptor antagonist, Skeletal muscle, Smoking cessation, Solanaceae.

Acetylcholine

Acetylcholine (ACh) is an organic chemical that functions in the brain and body of many types of animals, including humans, as a neurotransmitter—a chemical message released by nerve cells to send signals to other cells.

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, or nAChRs, are receptor proteins that respond to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.

Receptor antagonist

A receptor antagonist is a type of receptor ligand or drug that blocks or dampens a biological response by binding to and blocking a receptor rather than activating it like an agonist.

Skeletal muscle

Skeletal muscle is one of three major muscle types, the others being cardiac muscle and smooth muscle.
