Abstract
... blocking agents, although central sympatho-inhibition and blockade of catecholamine synthesis has also been actively explored, albeit with less success. There is considerable interaction between the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). Interactions be ...

... b. Proprioceptive fibres are blocked first c. Block by LA drugs is more marked in nerves with higher frequencies of depolarisation and longer action potential duration d. In large nerve trunks sensory nerves are usually located circumferentially therefore exposed first to drug e. None of the above s ...

Nicotinic agonist
A nicotinic agonist is a drug that mimics the action of acetylcholine (ACh) at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). The nAChR is named for its affinity for nicotine.Examples include nicotine (by definition), acetylcholine (the endogenous agonist of nAChRs), choline, epibatidine, lobeline, varenicline and cytisine.
