conformational change from a closed to open conformation is induced. (Auerbach, 2014) This open conformation has a much greater affinity for binding agonist (Auerbach, 2014). The increase in affinity leads to higher stimulation of the receptor (Aurbach, 2014). This continual stimulation will increase transmission of the action potential to the postsynaptic cell, to cause muscle contraction (Desaki et al., 1998). While it has been shown that pilocarpine serves as an agonist for muscarinic receptors

For many teens, moderation is a foreign term. A term that exists solely in the deepest cavities of their minds, and only as a goal, not a reality.
