    Atropine is a drug that causes relaxation of the smooth muscle of the digestive tract, a dry mouth sensation, and dilated pupils. Therefore, atropine is a(n)______ drug and mimics the effect of the ______ nervous system.

    A) Adrenergic, parasympathetic

    B) Adrenergic, sympathetic

    C) Cholinergic, parasympathetic

    D) Cholinergic, sympathetic

    Correct Answer: B

Thus, its effects are similar to those caused by release of norepinephrine (noradrenaline) from sympathetic postganglionic fibers.
