<h2>Acetylcholine</h2>

Explanation:

  • 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.

Anastaziya [24]

The purpose of a vortex instrument is to mix "small vials of liquids" in a laboratory.

Explanation:

A vortex instrument or a mixer is an laboratory instrument which is used to mix liquids in small vials.

The term vortex means swirling of a mass of air and this instrument also mixes liquid through swirling movement inside a tube.

A vortex unit is run by an electric motor which moves a rubber cup attached to the drive shaft.

The rubber cup swirls or oscillates in a circular motion and when a test tube with the liquid is pressed in the cup, the liquid contents get mixed through the transmission of the circular motion from the cup to the liquid. The speed of the rotation can be controlled.
