Acetylcholine. ACh

The video tutorial by Dr. Morton covers the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, detailing its synthesis, storage, release, and inactivation. It explains the roles of choline acetyltransferase in synthesis, vesicular transporters in storage, and calcium channels in release. The tutorial also discusses cholinergic receptors, including nicotinic and muscarinic types, and the role of acetylcholinesterase in inactivation. Clinical correlations, such as the effects of drugs and toxins on acetylcholine processes, are highlighted.
