Q

Explain release of ACh

A
  1. Action potential propagated by voltage sensitive sodium channel arrives at nerve ending
  2. Voltage sensitive Calcium channels on presynaptic membrane open.
  3. Increase in intracellular Calcium conc.
  4. Elevated Ca levels promote fusion of synaptic vesicles with cell membrane.
  5. ACh released in synaptic space.
20
Q

Release of ACh can be blocked by

A

Botulinum Toxin

21
Q

Toxin in black widow venom causes:

A

causes all ACh stored in synaptic vesicles to empty into synaptic gap

22
Q

Post synaptic Cholinergic receptors on irgan surface are divided into:

A

Muscarinic rec

Nicotinic rec

23
Q

AChE decomposes ACh to

A

Acetate & Choline

24
Q

Butyryl cholinesterase

A

Pseudocholinesterase

Does not play significant role in ACh termination

25
Q

What is recycling of Choline

A

Choline may be captured by a sodium coupled high affinity uptake system that takes the molecule back into the neuron. They are again acetylated to ACh

26
Q
