Q
  1. Termination of action of ACh (how)
A

• Metabolized to acetate and choline by acetylcholinesterase

TERMINATION OF ACTION
•	By metabolism
•	Acetylcholinesterase
•	 Monoamine oxidase (MAO)
•	 Cathecol-o-methly transferase (COMT)
•	Diffuse away from the synaptic cleft and get metabolized elsewhere
•	Taken up to presynaptic cell 		
•	 UPTAKE 1
•	Taken up to postsynaptic cell
•	 UPTAKE 2
