How is acetylcholine removed from the postsynaptic membrane?​

Biology
1 answer:
Orlov [11]3 years ago
8 0

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.

Grace [21]
Lymphocytes generated during an initial infection that circulate in the body for years and quickly destroy that infection if it ever appears again are called the Memory t cells.  These cells are a subset of infection that have previously encountered and responded to their respective antigen, thus they may be called the antigen experienced t cells.

Marianna [84]
<span>The answer is Mimicry. This is when one organism has evolved to look similar to another organism, because the similarity gives the mimic a selective advantage, usually because other organisms in its habitat, such as a predator, would then respond to the mimic in the same way as it would to the organism being copied. Mimicry comes in several varieties; including Batesian mimicry, which is when a palatable organism mimics a species that is unpalatable to predators. Consequently, they are avoided by predators, increasing their fitness. An example of Batesian mimicry is depicted by Viceroy and Monarch Butterflies. </span>
