Muscarinic and nicotinic cholinergic receptors both respond to acetylcholine, but nicotinic receptors respond to nicotine and are located on sympathetic and parasympathetic postsynaptic cells (i.e. in pretty much all the autonomic ganglia), the chromaffin cells of the adrenal medullae (stimulated by postganglionic sympathetic neurons), and in neuromuscular junctions of the somatic nervous system. Muscarinic receptors respond to muscarin (a type of mushroom poison) and are located in the effectors stimulated by postganglionic parasympathetic neurons, as well as sweat glands, which are innervated by sympathetic neurons
