<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.

Which greenhouse gas has an average lifetime in the atmosphere of a few weeks to thousands of years?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Due to human activities, the greenhouse gases are the most substantial mediator of the witnessed climate change since the mid-20th century. Globally, the overall emissions of greenhouse gases due to human activities have upsurged by 35 % from 1990 to 2010.  

The concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have upsurged since the start of the industrial revolution. Of the greenhouse gases, the fluorinated gases exhibit an average lifetime in the atmosphere of a few weeks to thousands of years.  

The fluorinated gases refer to an array of gases, which comprise fluorine, incorporating perfluorocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride, among other chemicals.  

These gases are discharged due to numerous industrial procedures and household and commercial applications and do not take place naturally. It is at certain instances used as the substitutes for the ozone-depleting components like CFCs.
