How Do You Study The Physiological Functions Of Acetylcholine In The Human Body?
• Understand that acetylcholine has specific function related to the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system in humans. The autonomic nervous system in humans has several known neurotransmitters that usually are the chemical mediators of electrical signals between neurons of this part of the nervous system. These known organic compounds are acetylcholine and the two neurotransmitters that are specific for the function of the sympathetic part of the autonomic nervous system epinephrine and norepinephrine. These three neurotransmitters are the main known chemical mediators for the transmission of electrical signals along the anatomical structures of the autonomic nervous system. • Know about the structure and function of this important nuerotransmitter of the autonomic nervous system. The functions of the parasympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system are mediated by the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. This organic compound has crucial role in the initiation and
