K+ channels in the heart do not have binding sites for ACh,yet parasympathetic release of ACh causes outward flux of K+ from heart cells.How does this occur?
A) ACh triggers release of epinephrine from the adrenal glands,which in turn causes K+ flux out of heart cells.
B) ACh binds to a G-protein coupled receptor on heart cells,and the G protein alpha subunit binds to a separate K+ channel and causes it to open.
C) Parasympathetic neurons activate sympathetic neurons,which directly cause K+ flux from heart cells.
D) ACh binds and activates a K+ pump on heart cells.
