Example?
umm...ciggaretes?
chandra stop smoking! Smile but right answer i suppose... Smile
nicotine, Ach on all preganglionic receptors, agnoist effect.
agree with danille...location of nicotinic receptors?
nicotine acts on all preganglionic N receptors, releasing ACh as neurotransmitter. All PANS and SANS preganglionic receptors are all N receptors. Motor nerve controlled skeletal muscles have N receptors too.
is it clonidine by any chance
how about succinylcholine ..it is also act as a nicotinic agonist..
I don't think so. It is preganlionic alpha 2 agnonist, if activated, inhibit feedback, hence decrease NE, and BP.

It doesn't act on N receptors, but alpha 2 receptors.

Nicotine will act on preganlionic N receptors, but not on M receptors. Its action on M receptors is through activiating preganglionic N receptors.
Sorry, I am answering the Q about clonidine.
