The autonomic nervous system controls visceral functions in the body and ACh acts at muscarinic and nicotinic receptors present at effector organs such as heart‚ eyes‚ glands‚ respiratory and gastrointestinal systems. The somatic nervous system controls all voluntary functions of the body such as movement‚ posture and respiration‚ here ACh acts on nicotinic receptors (Mileson et al. 1998).
