TERM! DEFINITION!Neurotransmitter! A!chemical!substance!that!is!released!at!the!end!of!a!nerve!fiber!by!the!
arrival!of!a!nerve!impulse!and!by!diffusing!across!the!synapse!or!junction,!
causes!the!transfer!of!the!impulse!to!another!nerve!fiber;!a!muscle!fiber!
Acetylcholine! A!compound!that!occurs!throughout!the!nervous!system,!in!what!it!
functions!as!a!neurotransmitter!
Cholinesterase! An!enzyme,!especially!acetylcholinesterase,!that!hydrolyzes!esters!of!
choline!
!
•! Neurotransmitters!are!chemicals!that!are!used!for!communication!between!a!neuron!at!
the!synapse!and!another!cell!
!
•! Acetylcholine!is!the!primary!neurotransmitter!for!the!motor!neurons!that!innervate!skeletal!muscle!and!for!parasympathetic!neurons!
o! It!is!generally!an!excitatory!neurotransmitter,!but!it!can!be!inhibitory!nerve!
endings;!such!as!the!hear!
!
•! In!biochemistry,!cholinesterase!is!an!enzyme!that!catalyzes!the!hydrolysis!of!the!neurotransmitter!acetylcholine!into!choline!and!acetic!acid,!a!reaction!necessary!to!
allow!a!neuron!to!return!to!its!resting!state!after!activation!
