Drugs that mimic the parasympathetic nervous system ✔️Cholinergic
Drugs that block the parasympathetic nervous system ✔️Anti-cholinergic
anti-inflammatory action of aspirin is in part due to ✔️inhibition of the enzyme cyclooxygenase, which
leads to the formation of prostaglandins (that cause inflammation)
