Answer:

plasma membrane of the target cell

Explanation:

There are two main types of acetylcholine (ACh)receptors:

  1. muscarinic ACh receptors (because muscarin as agonist) which are G-protein coupled receptors that initiate slow response. Mostly, they are located in the central nervous system-CNS (involved in the release of neurotransmitters), heart (control of the heart rate), smooth muscles (contraction).
  2. nicotinic ACh receptors (nicotin is agonist) which are  ligand-gated ion channels involved in the fast response. They are located at neuromuscular junctions but also in CNS (involved in synaptic transmission between two neurons).

What is cotransport? Explain how understanding it is used in our treatment of diarrhea.​
qaws [65]

Answer:

In cotransport, a single ATP-powered pump that transports a specific solute drives the active transport of several other  solutes. Normally, sodium in waste is reabsorbed in the colon, maintaining constant levels in the body, but diarrhea  expels waste so rapidly that re-absorption is not possible, and sodium levels fall precipitously. To treat this life threatening condition, patients are given a solution to drink containing high concentrations of salt and glucose. The  solutes are taken up by sodium-glucose cotransporters on the surface of intestinal cells and passed through the cells into  the blood. This simple treatment has lowered infant mortality worldwide.
