A neurotransmitter released by nerves that is essential for communication between the nerves and muscles.

A chemical made by some types of nerve cells. It is used to send messages to other cells, including other nerve cells, muscle cells, and gland cells. It is released from the nerve ending and carries s [..]

(asset-ill-coal-een) One of the most common neurotransmitters; functions by binding to receptors and altering the permeability of the postsynaptic membrane to specific ions, either depolarizing or hyp [..]

A neurotransmitter which is derived from choline. It helps in transmitting signals from the nerves.

 A neurotransmitter in both the brain, where it may help regulate memory, and in the peripheral nervous system, where it controls the actions of skeletal and smooth muscle. 

Acetylcholine (ACh) is the most common type of neurotransmitter, and the most well understood. It's found in parts of the peripheral nervous system, spinal cord, and areas of the brain. In the pe [..]

A chemical in the body that carries electrical messages between the nerves and muscles; a neurotransmitter.

A neurotransmitter in the central and peripheral nervous system. Drugs to increase acetylcholine are sometimes used to treat Alzheimer’s disease.

A chemical in the brain that acts as a neurotransmitter.

A compound secreted by the neuron where it is attached to the muscle at the neuromuscular junction. Acetylcholine causes the transfer of the nerve impulse from the neuron to the muscle.

[noun] A chemical neurotransmitter. When released onto a muscle, acetylcholine will activate sodium channels to open. Appears in modules:

(n) a neurotransmitter that is a derivative of choline; released at the ends of nerve fibers in the somatic and parasympathetic nervous systems

A neurotransmitter (a chemical messenger that sends signals between brain cells) that plays roles in attention, learning, and memory.

Reversible acetic acid ester of choline that serves as a neurotransmitter at the myoneural junction, in parasympathetic ganglia, and at parasympathetic nerve endings.

Acetylcholine is a chemical compound that acts as a neurotransmitter in the central and peripheral nervous system. It is particularly important in the stimulation of muscle tissue.

Neurotransmitter that functions at vertebrate neuromuscular junctions and at various neuron-neuron synapses in the brain and peripheral nervous system.

Acetylcholine is one of a group of biochemicals known as "neurotransmitters". It carries nerve impulses across the "synapse", from one neuron to another, where it propagates nerve [..]

A Neurotransmitter found at Neuromuscular Junctions, autonomic Ganglia, Parasympathetic effector junctions, a subset of sympathetic effector junctions, and at many sites in the Central Nervous System.

A neurotransmitter. Acetylcholine in vertebrates is the major transmitter at neuromuscular junctions, autonomic ganglia, parasympathetic effector junctions, a subset of sympathetic effector junctions, [..]

a chemical in the brain that acts as a neurotransmitter.

A critical neurotransmitter that controls functions such as memory, attention, sleep, heart rate, and muscular activity.

A chemical made by some types of nerve cells. It is used to send messages to other cells, including other nerve cells, muscle cells, and gland cells. It is released from the nerve ending and carries signals to cells on the other side of a synapse (space between nerve cells and other cells). Acetylcholine helps control memory and the action of certa [..]

     an acetyl ester of choline involved in the synaptic transmission between nerve cells.

<chemical> <neurology, physiology> A chemical found in vertebrate neurones that carries information across the synaptic cleft, the space between two nerve cells. (06 May 1997)

A chemical neurotransmitter that is released from the ends of certain types of nerve fibre when they are stimulated. It transmits a signal to an adjacent nerve or muscle cell by binding to receptors o [..]

Acetylcholine ‎is a neurotransmitter that helps transmit nerve impulses to muscle cells, signaling them to contract. It responds to nicotine and is implicated as a factor in addiction to tobacco. Too [..]

A chemical (neurohormone) released from presynaptic nerve endings, which diffuses across the synapse (gap between the neurones) and stimulates the initiation of an impulse in the post-synaptic membrane. Is rapidly broken down by the enzyme cholinesterase.

A neurotransmitter produced and released by parasympathetic postganglionic neurons, by motoneurons, and by neurons throughout the brain.
