Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: Opioid agonists stimulate mu and kappa receptors, resulting in a variety of effects, including analgesia. There are at least six types of receptors. The mu and kappa receptors are of greatest concern from a pharmacologic standpoint. Drugs that block opioid receptors are called opioid antagonists, and do not inhibit the pain impulse.
