- A neurotransmitter that is a derivative of choline; released at the ends of nerve fibers in the somatic and parasympathetic nervous systems
- The chemical compound acetylcholine (often abbreviated ACh) is a neurotransmitter in both the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and central nervous system (CNS) in many organisms including humans. ...
- A neurotransmitter in humans and other animals. It is an ester of acetic acid and choline with chemical formula CH3COOCH2CH2N^+(CH3)3
- A chemical in the brain that acts as a neurotransmitter.
- A neurotransmitter. Acetylcholine is used by spinal cord neurons to control muscles and by many other neurons in the brain as well. Nicotine binds to one type of acetylcholine receptor.
- A chemical released at neuromuscular junctions that binds to receptors on the surface of the plasma membrane of muscle cells, causing an electrical impulse to be transmitted. The impulse ultimately leads to muscle contraction.
- A neurotransmitter for motor neurons that is involved in the inhibitory function (as is dopamine) of the basal ganglia
- A neurotransmitter present at junctions of nerve and muscle cells and various sites of the central nervous system, including the cerebral cortex and the basal ganglia. ...
- Acetylcholine is a type of neurotransmitter. It is a chemical that is used by neurons to communicate with other neurons and with parts of the body. It is also used by the part of the nervous system that is responsible for resting and digesting. ...
