WHAT IS ACETILE COLINE? |
Acetylcholine is a key chemical in neurons that transmits information across the space between two nerve cells (synaptic cleft). It is one of the most common neurotransmitters in the body, functioning in both the peripheral nervous system and central nervous system. In the peripheral nervous system, this neurotransmitter is a primary component of the autonomic nervous system and works to activate muscles.In the central nervous system, it acts as part of a neurotransmitter system and plays a role in attention and arousal. |
