acetylcholine

listen to the pronunciation of acetylcholine
English - Turkish
asetilkolin
(Tıp) Asetilkolin, (CH3) N(OH) CH2 COOCH3, "parasympathetic" sinirlerin periferik uyarıldığı zaman organizma içinde meyadna gelen ve bu sinirlerin yayıldığı organların parankiması üzerinde etkisini gösteren bir alkaloid
English - English
A neurotransmitter in humans and other animals. It is an ester of acetic acid and choline with chemical formula CH3COOCH2CH2N+(CH3)3
A classical neurotransmitter found in the basal ganglia and throughout the body An imbalance between the neurotransmitters acetylcholine and dopamine is associated with some of the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (PD) for example, tremor and rigidity
A neurotransmitter, or chemical in the brain that carries information between nerve cells
The neurotransmitter involved in regulating muscles, memory, mood, sleep, and organs (like the heart)
A neurotransmitter Acetylcholine is used by spinal cord neurons to control muscles and by many other neurons in the brain as well Nicotine binds to one type of acetylcholine receptor
{i} acetic acid ester of choline which is found in the human body and used in certain medications
Acetylcholine is released at nerve endings to pass on a nerve impulse to the next nerve or to initiate muscular contractions The released acetylcholine is rapidly broken down by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase to allow the transmission of following (subsequent) impulses
Ester of choline and acetic acid, a neurotransmitter active at many nerve synapses and at the motor end plate of vertebrate voluntary muscles. It affects several of the body's systems, including the cardiovascular system (decreases heart rate and contraction strength, dilates blood vessels), gastrointestinal system (increases peristalsis in the stomach and amplitude of digestive contractions), and urinary system (decreases bladder capacity, increases voluntary voiding pressure). It also affects the respiratory system and stimulates secretion by all glands that receive parasympathetic nerve impulses (see autonomic nervous system). It is important in memory and learning and is deficient in the brains of those with late-stage Alzheimer disease
A neurotransmitter released at autonomic synapses and neuromuscular junctions
A type of chemical (called a neurotransmitter) that transmits messages among nerve cells and muscle cells
A neurotransmitter (chemical messenger) used by cholinergic nerve cells to pass messages to adjacent cells Cholinergic nerves in the brain are particularly affected in Alzheimer's Disease [Quick find]
a neurotransmitter which plays an important role in memory It is used for control of sensory input signals and muscular control ACh is a stimulatory neurotransmitter When released by muscle nerves, it makes those muscles contract It is made from the precursor nutrient choline and there is some evidence that increased dietary choline can increase production and use of acetylcholine Also, many drugs affect the production and release of this neurotransmitter
A neurotransmitter that appears to be involved in learning and memory Acetylcholine is severely diminished in Alzheimer's disease
ACh, a natural chemical which is used as a neurotransmitter in the brain (especially for memory and the control of sensory input signals and muscular output signals), and as a neuromuscular transmitter (ACh released by muscle nerves makes muscles contract) It is made by the brain from the precursor nutrient choline
n (a-SEE-til-KO-leen) Chemical found in vertebrate nerve cells (neurons) that carries information across the space between two nerve cells (the synaptic cleft)
A neurotransmitter in humans and other animals. It is an ester of acetic acid and choline with chemical formula CH{3}COOCH{2}CH{2}N[+](CH{3}){3}
A neurotransmitter serving as a cholinergic agonist at myoneural junctions of striated muscles, at autonomic effector cells innervated by parasympathetic nerves, at the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems’ preganglionic synapses,and at various central nervous system sites
-a chemical formed by Choline and an acetyl group It is a neurotransmitter in the nervous system used to transmit nerve impulses Acetylcholine slows down heart rate, dilates blood vessels, and increases activity of the gastrointestinal system In the brain, acetylcholine is involved with learning and memory
A neurotransmitter liberated by peripheral nervous system neurons and some central nervous system neurons It is excitatory at neuromuscular junctions but inhibitory at some other synapses
Neurotransmitter excreted by motor nerves to excite muscles: also found in the brain
A chemical that works in the brain to transmit nerve signals
A neurotransmitter widely distributed in body tissues with a primary function of mediating synaptic activity of the nervous system and skeletal muscles
A neurotransmitter in both the central and peripheral nervous system, formed by the combination of acetate and choline, a reaction catalyzed by the synthetic enzyme choline acetyltransferase
a neurotransmitter that is a derivative of choline; released at the ends of nerve fibers in the somatic and parasympathetic nervous systems
A neurotransmitter liberated by vertebrate motor neurons, preganglionic autonomic neurons, and in various central nervous system pathways
