Yes. It is a neurotransmitter used in the brain, the peripheral autonomic nerves, and the junction between nerves and muscles.

What is the main neurotransmitter of the parasympathetic autonomic nervous system?
Parasympathetic system has acetylcholine as its chemical mediator.
What drugs increase the action of the nervous system?
acetylcholine
Which division of the autonomic nervous system secretes acetylcholine via cholinergic nerve fibers?
Parasympathetic nervous system .
What is the neurotransmitter in the brain spinal cord and peripheral nervous system?
Acetylcholine
The neurotransmitters acetylcholine performs what two functions?
it acts as just a neurotransmitter for both the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system
Neurotransmitter used to cause muscle contraction?
A neurotransmitter that causes muscle movement is called Acetylcholine. Acetycholine acts as on both the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system.
Is acetylcholine the only neurotransmitter in motor division of somatic nervous system?
yes
All preganglionic axons of the autonomic nervous system release what?
acetylcholine (ACH)
Two major neurotransmitters of the autonomic nervous system?
You have acetylcholine liberated at ganglion in both sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. You have noradrenaline secreted at post ganglionic sympathetic nerve terminals. You have acetylcholine secreted at post ganglionic parasympathetic nerve terminals.
What is acetylcholen?
Acetylcholine (ACh) is an exitatory neurotransmitter. This means it is released from the synapse of the neurone and promotes the continuation of the AP in the next neurone instead of inhibiting it. ACh is part of the peripheral nervous system and is not very prominent in the central nervous system.
What part of the nervous system is the sympathetic and parasympathetic?
No. While they are both composed of neurons and support cells, they are classified under different branches of the nervous system. The brain is a part of the central nervous system, while the autonomic nervous system is part of the peripheral nervous system.
What neurotransmitter control the somatic nervous system and how does it work?
Acetylcholine (ACh) is the only neurotransmitter used in the motor division of the somatic nervous system. It works by binding to acetylcholine receptors on skeletal muscle fibers and opening ligand-gated sodium channels in the cell membrane.
