What is the specific role of acetylcholine in a skeletal muscle contraction? Describe the general functions of the nervous system. Describe the structure of a neuromuscular junction and explain its role in the control of muscle function. What are the functions of somatic receptors and sensory pathwa...
Recent advances in neuroscience and immunology have shown that cholinergic signals are vital in the regulation of inflammation and immunity. Choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) lymphocytes have the capacity to biosynthesize and release acetylcholine, the cognate ligand for cholinergic receptors. Acetylcholine-...
This same induction of β-arrestin1 nuclear trafficking is not observed in agonist-stimulated mOR or β2AR. Some Class B GPCRs known to interact with β-arrestins include, but are not limited to, the angiotensin II type 1A receptor (AT1aR), the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR), ...

The alpha4beta2alpha5 nicotinic cholinergic receptor in rat brain is resistant to up-regulation by nicotine in vivo. We used immunoprecipitation with subunit-specific antibodies to examine the distribution of heteromeric neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs)... D Mao,DC Perry,RP Yasuda,...
The target tissue gets excited, inhibited, or functionally modified in some other way. There are more than 40 neurotransmitters in the human nervous system; some of the most important are acetylcholine, norepinephrine, dopamine, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), glutamate, serotonin, and histamine. ...

Acetylcholine has numerous functions in the body. It can be found in all motor neurons, where it stimulates muscles to contract.2From the movements of the stomach and heart to the blink of an eye, all of the body's movements involve the actions of this important neurotransmitter. Acetylcholine...
Some neurotransmitters, such asacetylcholineand dopamine, can create both excitatory and inhibitory effects depending upon the type of receptors that are present. Types of Neurotransmitters There are a number of different ways to classify and categorize neurotransmitters. In some instances, they are simpl...
