What is responsible for degrading acetylcholine so that it does not remain in the synapse?

acetylcholinesterase


What neurotransmitter is found at the synapse between nerves and human skeletal muscle cells?

Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter at the neuromuscular junction.


What is the neurotransmitter of alpha-motor neuron?

Alpha-Motor neurons release the neurotransmitter acetylcholine at a synapse called the neuromuscular junction. When the acetylcholine binds to acetylcholine receptors on the muscle fiber, an action potential is propagated along the muscle fiber in both directions.


Which neuro transmitter released from ganglionic of the parasympathetic division?

Nor-adrenaline is secreted at post ganglionic sympathetic synapses. There is re-uptake of Nor-adrenaline by nerve ending and only partially destroyed there by the enzyme C.O.M.T. There is no enzyme like acetylcholinesterase present there as in post ganglionic parasympathetic synapse to destroy the acetylcholine.


What breaks down acetylcholine?

Acetylcholine is broken down by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase into acetate and choline. This breakdown process is essential for terminating the action of acetylcholine at the synapse, allowing for proper signaling between nerve cells. Excess acetylcholine breakdown can lead to conditions such as myasthenia gravis.


What is responsible for transmission of nerve impulse across a synapse?

NEUROTRANSMITTER is responsible for transmission of nerve impulses.Eg.dopamine,acetylcholine etc.


Cholinesterase causes acetylcholine to do what?

Cholinesterase breaks down acetylcholine into choline and acetic acid. This process helps to quickly terminate the signal transmission at cholinergic synapses, preventing overstimulation and allowing the synapse to reset for the next signal.


What type of chemicals moves across the space between two nerve cells?

chemical synapse


The neurotransmitter used at cholinergic synapse is?

The neurotransmitter is called acetylcholine. Cholinergic receptors are of two kinds: nicotinic receptors, which are situated in striated muscles and muscarinic receptors, which are situated in parasympathetically innervated structures.


Synaptic vesicles in the axon terminal of a motor neuron contain what neurotransmitter?

Synaptic vesicles store neurotransmitters to be released into the synapses. In the case of most motoneurons, this neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (ACh). The neurons that interface with the sympathetic nervous system, also technically motoneurons, release norepinephrine.


This contains neurotransmitters that allow a signal to cross from one neuron to another?

A synaspe.. something like that lol


What is the chemical messenger that crosses synapse?

The chemical used to send messages across synapses is acetylcholine or ACh.
