How is the neurotransmitter acetylcholine inactivated at the parasympathetic terminal receptor site?
Acetylcholine is primarily inactivated at the parasympathetic terminal receptor site by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. Acetylcholinesterase breaks down acetylcholine into choline and acetate, which are then taken back up by the presynaptic terminal for further use in neurotransmitter synthesis. This inactivation process allows for the rapid termination of acetylcholine signaling and helps maintain proper neurotransmitter balance in the synapse.
What is an example of acetylcholine?
acetylcholine
Acetylcholine is an example of what neurotransmitter?
acetylcholine
What is the main neurotransmitter of the parasympathetic autonomic nervous system?
Parasympathetic system has acetylcholine as its chemical mediator.
The chemical that transmits the signal across the neuromuscular junction is called?
Acetylcholine
What neurotransmitter is found at the synapse between nerves and human skeletal muscle cells?
Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter at the neuromuscular junction.
What are the two excitatory neurotransmitters?
acetylcholine
What chemical stimulates muscle contraction?
acetylcholine (ACh)
Cholinesterase causes acetylcholine to do what?
Cholineesterase is enzyme that hydrolyses acetylcholine .
What Are Ach levels?
See Acetylcholine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetylcholine
What type of excitatory neurotransmitter is secreted by motor neurons innervating skeletal muscle?
Acetylcholine is the excitatory neurotransmitter released by neurons innervating skeletal muscles. Acetylcholine release stimulates muscle contraction by acting at the nicotinic-acetylcholine receptor on the surface of the muscle cell.
How is the X chromosome inactivated?
The X chromosome is inactivated when a (-CH3) gets added to one of the nitrogenous bases of DNA nucleotides.
