Hint: Antagonists bind to the receptor site and inhibit its natural function.
Drugs that bind to the receptor site and inhibit its natural function are called antagonists. There are other types of drugs that mimic the natural messenger by switching on the receptor, these are called agonists.
Chemical messenger: Communicate messages between two neurons and that between neurons to muscles.
Receptors: Crucial to the body's communication process.
