The following receptors are affected by antipsychotic drugs EXCEPT:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Antipsychotics (e.g., haloperidol) block central D2 (choice A) and 5-HT2 receptors (choice B) for efficacy, and muscarinic receptors (choice D) peripherally, causing side effects. Peripheral H2 receptors (choice C), involved in gastric acid secretion, aren't significantly affected; H1 antagonism occurs instead. This exception clarifies antipsychotic receptor profiles.
