ANSWERS, GRADED A+
acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl CoA) - ANSWER-Precursor necessary for ACh
synthesis.
acetylcholine (ACh) - ANSWER-Neurotransmitter involved with the
central and peripheral nervous system and synthesized by the
cholinergic neurons. It is the target of many of the deadliest neurotoxins.
acetylcholinesterase (AChE) - ANSWER-Enzyme that controls levels of
ACh by breaking it down into choline and acetic acid.
arecoline - ANSWER-Chemical from the seeds of the betel nut palm
Areca catechu that stimulates muscarinic receptors.
atropine - ANSWER-Drug found in nightshade, Atropa belladonna, and
henbane, Hyoscyamus niger, that blocks muscarinic receptors.
autoimmune disorder - ANSWER-Condition in which the immune system
attacks part of one's own body.
basal forebrain cholinergic system (BFCS) - ANSWER-Collection of
cholinergic nerve cells that innervates the cerebral cortex and limbic
system structures. Damage to this system contributes to the symptoms
of Alzheimer's disease.
benztropine mesylate (Cogentin) - ANSWER-Anticholinergic drug used to
treat early symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
choline - ANSWER-Precursor necessary for ACh synthesis.
