Acetylcholinesterase is an enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine into choline and acetate at the neuromuscular junction. This prevents acetylcholine from accumulating and allows for efficient signaling between the nerve cell and the muscle cell.
ACH stands for Automated Clearing House, It is a network of computers linked between banks and financial institutions,. An ACH payment transpires when one entity such as a retailer, known as the "originator" makes an electronic request to a financial institution (the "receiver") for a transfer of funds. The availability of funds is first confirmed before the transfer takes place.
An unbalanced ACH file can improve reconciliation efficiency, as it includes one single total at the end of the file. This can simplify the process for the receiving bank or financial institution. However, it is important to ensure accuracy and proper formatting to avoid errors or delays in processing.
ACh (acetylcholine) binds to receptors at the NMJ (neuromuscular junction) to induce contraction of muscle.
Acetylcholinesterase destroying the ACH
Occurs when acetylcholine (ACh) accumulates in the neuromuscular junction. It is called a tetanic contraction.
Botulin is best described as a neurotoxin that inhibits the release of acetylcholine (ACh) at the neuromuscular junction, leading to muscle paralysis.
Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter at the neuromuscular junction.
In a neuromuscular junction, synaptic vesicles in the motor neuron contain the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh). When an action potential reaches the motor neuron, ACh is released into the synaptic cleft and binds to receptors on the muscle fiber, leading to muscle contraction.
At every junction between a motor neuron and skeletal muscle fibers
The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) on the post-synaptic muscle membrane is the site within the neuromuscular junction affected by succinylcholine. By binding to and activating these receptors, succinylcholine causes sustained depolarization and prevents repolarization, leading to muscle paralysis.
Acetylcholine is the primary neurotransmitter released at the neuromuscular junction. It is responsible for transmitting signals from motor neurons to muscle fibers, leading to muscle contraction.
Synaptic vesicles at the neuromuscular junction contain the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh). When an action potential reaches the nerve terminal, these vesicles fuse with the presynaptic membrane and release ACh into the synaptic cleft. This release initiates muscle contraction by binding to receptors on the postsynaptic membrane of the muscle fiber, leading to depolarization and subsequent muscle activation.
ACh is not degraded, therefore, prolonged depolorization is enforced on the post synaptic memebrane
Connection between the motor neuron and the muscle fiber. Neuromuscular junction is made up of: 1. Axon ending of the motor neuron (contains the vessicles with acetylcholine ; neurotransmitter) 2. Motor end plate (portion of the sarcolemma that contacts the axon ending) 3. Synaptic cleft (space between the motor neuron and the motor end plate) Impulse--->axon ending--->release of ACH (acetycholine)--->ACH in the synaptic cleft--->ACH binds to the ACH receptors--->release of Calcium from sarcoplasmic reticulum--->Calcium activates Troponin and Tropomyosin--->binding sites are exposed.
