How is acetylcholine removed from the postsynaptic membrane?​

Biology

Orlov [11]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Acetylcholine (ACh) is an organic chemical that functions in the brain and body of many types of animals (and humans) as a neurotransmitter.

Neurotransmitter is a chemical message released by nerve cells to send signals to other cells, such as neurons, muscle cells and gland cells.

After a neurotransmitter molecule has been recognized by a post-synaptic receptor, it is released back into the synaptic cleft. Once in the synapse, it must be quickly removed or chemically inactivated in order to prevent constant stimulation of the post-synaptic cell and an excessive firing of action potentials.

Some neurotransmitters are removed from the synaptic cleft by special transporter proteins on the pre-synaptic membrane. These transporter proteins carry the neurotransmitter back into the pre-synaptic cell, where it is either re-packaged into a vesicle and stored until it is once again needed to transmit a chemical message, or broken down by enzymes.

The term aerobic exercise describes any type of exercise typically performed at moderate levels of intensity for extended periods of time that increases the heart rate. In such exercise, oxygen is used to "burn" fats and glucose in order to produce energy in the form of ATP, the basic energy carrier for all cells. Initially, glycogen is broken down to produce glucose, but in its absence, fat metabolism is initiated instead. Aerobic exercise is an exercise performed at a moderately high level of intensity over a long period of time. For example, running a long distance at a moderate pace.
