	Atropine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This occurs because atropine is a competitive antagonist of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptors.
		Topical atropine is used as a cycloplegic, to temporarily paralyze accommodation, and as a mydriatic, to dilate the pupils.

	Olympus Microscopy Resource Center: Polarized Light Microscopy Gallery - Atropine
		Atropine is a poisonous alkaloid that occurs naturally in belladonna and several other plants of the nightshade family, Solanaceae.
		One of the chief reasons for the decrease in the popularity of atropine for some purposes is the wide array of effects produced by the drug, the medical community increasingly coming to favor synthetic drugs that generate a similar, but narrower, range of corollaries.
		Nevertheless, atropine is still often utilized in several applications, such as the preparation for general anesthetic, the treatment of bedwetting, the control of heart function, and the dilation of the eyes for vision screenings.

	RxMed: Pharmaceutical Information - ATROPINE SULFATE INJECTION USP
		Atropine inhibits the muscarinic actions of acetylcholine on structures innervated by postganglionic cholinergic nerves, and on smooth muscles which respond to endogenous acetylcholine but are not so innervated.
		Atropine exerts a more potent and prolonged effect on heart, intestine and bronchial muscle than scopolamine, but its action on the iris, ciliary body and certain secretory glands is weaker than that of scopolamine.
		Atropine Sulfate Injection USP in clinical doses counteracts the peripheral dilation and abrupt decrease in blood pressure produced by choline esters.
