Answer 1

Answer:

a. plays a role in analgesia and the rewarding effects of morphine.

Explanation:

Mu receptors are receptors that have a strong analgesic action.

As already mentioned, the mu receptor has a strong analgesic action and plays a role in analgesia and the gratifying effects of morphine.
