Pertaining to nerves that release ACETYLCHOLINE at their endings, including the nerves to the voluntary muscles and all the PARASYMPATHETIC nerves. 2. Having effects similar to those of acetylcholine. cholinergic (of nerve fibres) secreting ACETYLCHOLINE as a TRANSMITTER SUBSTANCE; in vertebrates these include motor fibres to STRIATED MUSCLE, parasympathetic fibres to INVOLUNTARY MUSCLE and fibres to sympathetic ganglia from the central nervous system. Compare ADRENERGIC.CholinergicNerves that are stimulated by acetylcholine.Mentioned in: Cholinergic Drugscholinergic Relates to neurons or nerve fibres in which acetylcholine (ACh) is the neurotransmitter, or have actions similar to those caused by ACh. Cholinergic receptors are of two types: nicotinic receptors, which are situated in striated muscles (e.g. the extraocular muscles) and muscarinic receptors, which are situated in parasympathetically innervated structures (e.g. the iris and ciliary body).
