Apa from release of EDRF, other mechanism of vasodilatory action of acetylcholine is –
Correct Answer: Inhibition of nor-epinephrine release from adrenergic nerve endings
Description: Ans. is 'b' i.e., Inhibition of nor-epinephrine release from adrenergic nerve endings o Most of the blood vessels contain cholinergic M3 receptors on endothelium but no parasympathetic nerve supply. o Exogenously administered ACh can stimulate M3 receptors which results in release of EDRF (NO) from endothelium that causes vasodilatation. o Vasodilation also may occur indirectly due to inhibition of NA release from nerve endings by Ach.
