Cell differentiation is the process by which cells specialize to achieve their required functions. In order for a cell to differentiate, it will express specific genes. ... Importantly, mitosis produces cells that are identical to each other (clones).
Acetylcholine is a chemical that is found between the nerve synapses, or gaps, between nerve cells. When activated, it causes the contraction of skeletal muscles and activates glandular functions in the endocrine system. Think of acetylcholine as a mailperson; residents cannot receive their mail until he or she comes and delivers it to the mailbox. Like mailpersons who deliver the mail and move on to the next house, acetylcholine acts quickly and does not hang around. As a result, acetylcholine is rapidly broken down by another chemical substance called cholinesterase.
Acetylcholine was the first neurotransmitter scientists discovered, as well as the most abundant neurotransmitter in the body. A neurotransmitter is a chemical that is released by a neuron, or nerve cell, that sends a signal to another neuron across a synapse. The neurotransmitter binds to receptors to affect how the signal is received. The purpose of the neurotransmitter is to either amplify or inhibit the signals sent between the neurons.
Acetylcholine plays an important role in the signal of muscle movement, sensation of pain, learning and memory formation, the regulation of the endocrine system and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep cycles.
<span>Sewage treatment is also known as wastewater treatment. It is
a process whereby contaminant is removed from wastewater. Thus, chemical,
biological and physical process are commonly used to remove contaminants from
wastewater and the by-products of wastewater treatment is usually inform of
solid waste known as sewage sludge.</span>
