Acetylcholine solution can be used for Irrigation which BSS (basic salt solution) can be used for as well, but it is used during cataract surgery, corneal transplant and Iridectomy to cause complete constriction of the pupil, that classifies it as Miotic, a pupil constricting agent.
Acetylcholine
acetylcholine
Blocking the action of the neurohormone acetylcholine. The most obvious effects include dry mouth and dry eyes.
Parasympathetic system has acetylcholine as its chemical mediator.
Acetylcholine or aka ACH is the neurotransmitter that is released from the axon terminal to through the neuromuscular junction across the synaptic cleft which binds to the ACH receptors on the end motor plate of the Sarcolema.
The neurotransmitter used at the neuromuscular junction is acetylcholine. It is released from the motor neuron terminals and binds to receptors on the muscle cell membrane, leading to muscle contraction.
Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter at the neuromuscular junction.
acetylcholine
It's an enzyme that breaks down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Basically, neurotransmitters are necessary for nerves to transmit impulses and messages throughout the body. Acetylcholine is used specifically to transmit sensory messages. Sometimes, the body produces so much acetylcholine that it becomes an annoyance. In these cases, cholinesterase is responsible for balancing out the production of acetylcholine by destroying it.
acetylcholine (ACh)
Acetylcholine Inhibitors...That would include organophosphates, curare (or tubocuranine), succinylcholine, (a flaccid paralytic used in anesthesia to relax striated muscles for intubation), and various neurotoxins.
In some muscle tissue acetylcholine causes vaso-dilation, but not all. Norepinephrine is the opposite competor/effector of acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is present in all preganglionic fibers, both parasympathetic and sympathetic. Acetylcholine is present in postganglionic parasympatic fibers, where norepinephrine is present in the postganglionic sympathetic fibers. In some tissues acetylcholine causes constriction. Can also reduce heart rate vi the vagus nerve. Acetylcholine is the only neurotransmitter used in the somatic nervous system! Acetylcholine can effect vasodilation by several mechanisms, including activation of endothelial nitric oxide (NO) synthase and prostaglandin (PG) production. In human skin, exogenous Acetylcholine increases both skin blood flow and bioavailable NO levels, but the relative increase is much greater in skin blood flow than NO. So this may lead us to speculate that acetylcholine may dilate cutaneous blood vessels through PGs, as well as NO. In some muscle tissue acetylcholine causes vaso-dilation, but not all.
