Why do sympathomimetics make you sweaty if sweat glands have muscarinic receptors?
The Sympathetic NS regulates sweating (see table on page 81) by controlling the function of about five million sweat glands in the body. There are two main types of sweat glands within the body, both regulated by the sympathetic NS: 1. Cholinergic Sweat Glands: Thermoregulatory sweat glands throughout the body but they release ACh and synapse with muscarinic receptors.
