Describe the process of cholinergic neurotransmission
1. Synthesis-Choline+AcCoA--> ACh +CoA in cytoplasm of cholinergic nerves by choline acetyl transferase (CAT)
1 of 13
Storage
2.Ach taken up into vesicles. Carrier-mediated process-exocytosis (if nerve is stimulated)
2 of 13
Release
3.Release Ach into synapse presynaptic receptors carmodulate.

Receptor interaction
Receptor interaction - no specialisation (not like neurone-motor junction)
4 of 13
Inactivation
Inactivation -(then reuptake) acetylcholinesterases (attached to basal membrane of NMJ) or soluble in CSF turn ACh-->choline and acetate. Enzyme has two binding sites. esteratic site and anionic site (binds choline and N+group)

What does hemicholiniums do?
Blocks choline uptake so prevents Ach synthesis
6 of 13
What does Vesamicol do?
Prevents ACh going into vesicles
7 of 13
What does bo-tox do?
prevent exocytosis of Ach.
8 of 13
What doe anti-cholinesterases do?
prevent break down of ACh so prolonged effects. Edropgonium-diagnosis of myasthenia gravis. Neostigmine-treatment of it. Ecothipate-treatment of glucoma

Muscarinic agonists
pilocaprine-glaucoma. bethanechol-gut motility. they both mimic effects of Ach,
10 of 13
Nicotinic agonists
Saxemrthonium-depolarisation activates but prevents repolarisation so inhibitory. `Used as muscle relaxtant durign surgery
11 of 13
Nicotnic antagonist
releaxtant during surgery. hexamethonium and trimetaphan.
12 of 13
Muscarinic antagonists
atropine, hyoscine, ipathropium, tolterodine.
