agonist

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Curare is an example of a non-depolarizing muscle relaxant that blocks the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR), one of the two types of acetylcholine (ACh) receptors, at the neuromuscular junction.
Detailed explanation-2: -Acetylcholinesterase breaks acetylcholine into muscarinic acid. The axon hillock in the presynaptic neuron fires based on temporal and spatial summation of inputs. The receptors in post-synaptic cells are the basis on which the synapse can be defined as inhibitory or excitatory.
Detailed explanation-3: -Which of the following occurs when a neuron is stimulated to its threshold? The movements of sodium and potassium ions across the membrane creates an action potential.
