Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter used at the neuromuscular junction âin other words, it is the chemical that motor neurons of the nervous system release in order to activate muscles.This property means that drugs that affect cholinergic systems can have very dangerous effects ranging from paralysis to convulsions.cetylcholine has functions both in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and in the central nervous system (CNS) as a neuromodulator. In the peripheral nervous system, acetylcholine activates muscles, and is a major neurotransmitter in the autonomic nervous system.
Structure of acetylcholine (ACh). 11.2 Acetylcholine in the Autonomic Nervous System. In the autonomic nervous system, acetylcholine (ACh) is the neurotransmitter in the preganglionic sympathetic and parasympathetic neurons. These are shown in Figure 11.2 as the red ACh in the ganglion.nhibitors of acetylcholinesterase are the most effective means to elevate acetylcholine either at cholinergic neurons or at the neuromuscular junction. These drugs are used to treat Alzheimer's disease, myasthenia gravis and in many other situations where the elevation of cholinergic neurotransmission is desired.
