Acetylcholine binds to receptors on the postsynaptic cell membrane, the smooth muscle ends plates, and secretory glands, causing the muscarinic effects of acetylcholine. These effects include bronchospasm, low pulmonary compliance, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, miosis, blurred vision, bradycardia, and hypersecretions of the oropharynx, conjunctivae, tracheobronchial tree, and gastrointestinal tract. Acetylcholine also binds to skeletal muscle end plates and synaptic ganglia, causing nicotinic effects. The nicotinic effects of acetylcholine include fasciculations, flaccid paralysis, tachycardia, and hypertension. 2, record 1, English, - nicotinic%20effect

Les effets nicotiniques. Les récepteurs nicotiniques étant situés au niveau des synapses neuromusculaires des muscles striés, des synapses ganglionnaires du système nerveux autonome et des médullosurrénales, l'excès d'acétylcholine se manifeste par : des fasciculations musculaires et des crampes au point de contact avec le toxique, suivies d'une asthénie rapidement croissante par atteinte de la plaque motrice, évoluant vers une paralysie flasque des muscles striés et un arrêt respiratoire, [et] une mydriase rapide, accompagnée d'une tachycardie et une hypertension artérielle due à la stimulation des glandes surrénales. 2, record 1, French, - effet%20nicotinique

Le fibroscope et ses possibilités. Il s'agit d'un système optique en fibre de verre ou d'une petite caméra vidéo que le médecin pneumologue descend dans les bronches en passant par le nez ou par la bouche. L'appareil appelé fibroscope se présente comme un tube souple de moins de 5 mm de diamètre (le diamètre d'un crayon) que le médecin dirige avec un système de manettes. Le fibroscope va explorer systématiquement les bronches d'un poumon puis de l'autre.
