Q

acetylcholine biosynthesis and neurotransmission

A
  1. choline transported to presynaptic nevere terminal by CHT
  2. Ach synthesize from choline and acetyl-CoA by ChAT
  3. ACh transported to storage vesicle by VAT
  4. action potential opens gated channels and increases calcium, fusion of vesicles with the surface membrane results in the release of ACh
    -ACh binds to cholinoreceptors on post synaptic cell
  5. ACh action terminated by metabolism by AChE
  6. auto receptors and receptors on presynaptic nerve end transmitter release
