Q

CHOLINERGIC
TRANSMISSION

A

Acetyl CoA + choline = ACh
Transported to cytoplasm, prepped for release
Calcium triggers release
Binds to cholinergic receptor
Acetylcholinesterase breaks up the party:
choline + acetate

34
Q

ORGANOPHOSPHATE MECHANISM

A

Phosphorous (+) attracted to serine (-)
OP attaches to AChE, prevents ACh binding
Cholinesterase is now blocked, 1 of 3 things can happen
1. Hydrolyze to original state (slow)
2. Regenerate with an oxime (fast)
3. Age (cannot regenerate)
The aged bond. This AChE is now permanently
out of commission
