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.

What is the Neurotransmitter used at cholinergic synapses is called?

The neurotransmitter used at cholinergic synapses is called acetylcholine (ACh). It plays a crucial role in transmitting signals between nerve cells and is involved in various functions, including muscle contraction and modulation of the autonomic nervous system. Acetylcholine is released from the presynaptic neuron and binds to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, facilitating communication between the two.


How long does neurotransmitter stay in the synapse What is the rate of removal of neurotransmitter Is it an exponential decay?

Neurotransmitter stay for few milliseconds only in the synapse. The rate is difficult to define, but then the decay is most probably exponential decay. The acetylcholine is destroyed by the enzyme acetylcholinestarage. The noradrenaline is taken up back by the neuron, which has secreted it.


What do you call the chemical released by the axon that travels across a synapse and binds on the dendrites of the other neurons or body cells?

The chemical released by the axon that travels across a synapse and binds to dendrites or cells is called a neurotransmitter. Neurotransmitters play a crucial role in transmitting signals between neurons and regulating various physiological processes in the body.


Drugs act at the synapse by?

affecting neurotransmitter release, blocking neurotransmitter reuptake, or binding to neurotransmitter receptors. This alters the signaling between neurons and can have various effects on mood, behavior, and other physiological processes.

What is cholinergic and anti cholinergic drugs?

Cholinergic drugs are used for urinary retention, myasthenia gravis, glaucoma. Cholinergic drugs act like the neurotransmitter ACh (acetylcholine). Anti Cholinergic (also called Cholinergic blocking) drugs block the action of the ACh. Anti Cholinergic drugs are used foe pylorospasm & peptic ulcers, bladder overactivity, parkinson's disease

What is the relationship between a synapse and neurotransmitter?

Chemical synapses are specialized junctions through which neurons signal to each other and to non-neuronal cells such as those in muscles or glands. At a chemical synapse, one neuron releases a neurotransmitter into a small space (the synapse) that is adjacent to another neuron.


Describe the innervation of the blood vessel?

Most of the blood vessels are innervated by sympathetic sympathetic adrenergic nerves.It releases norepinephrine which act as a neurotransmitter. The skin and few areas of body have both sympathetic cholinergic and parasympathetic cholinergic nerves which release acetylcholine,which act as a primary neurotransmitter.


What would happen if the re-uptake of a stimulatory neurotransmitter was blocked?

The action of the excitatory neurotransmitter will increase, since its concentration in the synapse will rise.


Which of the following helps carry nerve impulses across the synapse?

neurotransmitter carries the nerve impulses from neuron to neuron across a synapse
