Kolinergiske
Kolinergiske refers to nerve pathways, receptors, and signals that use acetylkolin (ACh) as the neurotransmitter. The kolinergic system includes both peripheral and central components and plays a key role in motor control, autonomic function, and cognition.
Acetylkolin is synthesized in presynaptic nerve terminals by the enzyme choline acetyltransferase from choline and acetyl-CoA,
In the peripheral nervous system, kolinergic transmission enables skeletal muscle contraction at the neuromuscular junction and
Disorders and treatments linked to the kolinergic system include myasthenia gravis (autoantibodies against nicotinic receptors, treated
