Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter in the GI tract (among other places). An increase in acetylcholine activity (also known as cholinergic activity) results in an increase in GI motility and secretion, not a decrease.

No, decreased gastrointestinal (GI) motility and secretion are not typically associated with a cholinergic effect. Cholinergic stimulation usually leads to increased GI motility and secretion. Other factors like sympathetic activity or certain drugs may be responsible for decreased GI motility and secretion.

What will be the effect of cholinergic agonist on the pyloric sphincter?

A cholinergic agonist will cause the pyloric sphincter to relax, leading to increased gastric emptying. This is because cholinergic stimulation promotes smooth muscle relaxation in the gastrointestinal tract, allowing food to pass through the pyloric sphincter more easily.
