The two types of receptors that bind acetylcholine are?

nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR, also known as "ionotropic" acetylcholine receptors) are particularly responsive to nicotinemuscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR, also known as "metabotropic" acetylcholine receptors) are particularly responsive to muscarine.Nicotinic and muscarinic are two main kinds of "cholinergic" receptors.


What crosses a synapse?

Answer is Neurotrasmitters. There are several hundred types of neurotransmitters in brain. Some of them are Dopamine,Serotonin,acetylcholine,Adrenaline, Nor-adrenaline, Histamine,pep-tide neurotransmitters, certain amine acids. So impulse of depolarization flows across the nerve fiber and there is closed space between junction of two nerves, where chemical substances flows across, carrying the impulses to next nerve. After impulse is given to the next nerve fiber by say acetylcholine, then it will be destroyed by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. Nor-adrenaline is taken up back by the nerve fiber.


How are neurotransmitters degraded?

A neurotransmitter is either taken up by the presynaptic terminus or digested/cleaved in the synaptic cleft. For example Acetylcholine is cleaved by a specific esterase present in the neuromuscular junction.


What is ACh receptors?

ACH receptors can be defined as an integral membrane protein that responds to the binding of acetylcholine, a neuoyansmitter. Two example are nicotinic acetyl line receptors and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. .
