What are the functions of dendrites? What is acetylcholine and why is it important? What is the function of the vagus nerve? What is the major function of the neuron? What is the function of the glossopharyngeal nerve? Describe how nerve signals are propagated along axons and between differ...
What are the main components of the sympathetic nervous system? There are three major molecules secreted within the sympathetic nervous system –acetylcholine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. Acetylcholine plays a major role in synaptic transmission of electrochemical signals from the presynaptic neurons. ...
The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) is a well characterized neurotransmitter receptor and transmembrane ionic channel. It is composed of five subunits in a stoichiometry of α2γδ (for reviews see 1–3). The AChR from electric fish has been isolated and the amino acid sequence of the ...

The function of different organs in the body depends upon norepinephrine, which supports already-healthy blood pressure, heart rate, liver function (and more). 9. Acetylcholine Acts as an excitatory or inhibitory neurotransmitter, and triggers muscle contractions, heartbeat, and stimulates secretion of...

1. Overview of Butyrylcholinesterase Butyrylcholinesterase is an enzyme protein primarily found in the nervous system, liver, and gallbladder. Its main function is to break down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine into choline and acetic acid. This process is crucial for normal physiological functions as...
The microbiota is the community of microbes that lives in our guts. This is the main place where we get colonized by thousands of different species of bacteria, and also viruses and fungi, which are kind of the ‘dark matter’ of the microbiota. ...
