In humans, the products of anaerobic respiration are adenosine triphosphate (ATP), carbon dioxide and lactic acid. ATP is the molecule that provides energy to cells.
Two Types of Receptors. There are two types of acetylcholine receptors (AChR) that bind acetylcholine and transmit its signal: muscarinic AChRs and nicotinic AChRs, which are named after the agonists muscarine and nicotine, respectively.he muscarinic AChRs occur primarily in the CNS, and are part of a large family of G-protein-coupled receptors (G proteins), which use an intracellular secondary messenger system involving an increase of intracellular calcium to transmit signals inside cells.
Research has also shown that one molecule of acetylcholine must bind to each of the two alpha subunits for this central channel to open. Nicotinic receptors at neuromuscular junctions are not the only place in the nervous system where acetylcholine plays a role. It is also active at many other locations, where it can bind to another, very different type of receptor.
