located preganglionic and for somatic control of skeletal msucle
What receptors are Ach?

How do things work at the neuromuscular junction for cholinergics?
Na+/Choline symporter - brings in choline and Na+ fro the neuromuscular junction - acetyl-CoA + choline get packaged into vesicles by choline acetyltransferase - get released into neuromuscular junction with help of Ca2+ - the Ach can work on muscarinic or nicotinic receptors on
What does hemicolinium do?
blocks the symporter of Na+/Choline - can't get choline into the axon - so Ach can't be released
What does vesamicol do?
It inhibits Ach from going into vesicles in the presynapic axon - ultimately results in Ach not being able to be released
What does Botulinum do?
inhibits the vesicle with Ach in the presynaptic axon - from binding at the end and release the Ach into the neuromuscular junction (ultimately inhibits the release of Ach)
What does acethlcholinesterase do?
breaks down Ach into choline and acetate - the choline gets reabsorbed into the presynaptic axon via Na+/choline symporter (inhibited by hemicolinium)
How do things work in a noradrenergic axon?
tyrosine gets brought into presynaptic axon - via a transporter - gets converted into DOPA - dopamine - NE (get packaged into vesicles) and released into the neuromuscular junction where it acts on adernergic receptors (a or B)
What does metyrosine do?
inhibits the formation of DOPA from tyrosine
What does reserpine do?
inhibits NE from getting into vesicles so it can be released into the neuromuscular junction
What does Guanethidine do?
inhibits the vesicle with NE from releasing it into the neuromuscular junction
What do amphetamines do?
stimulate release of NE into the neuromuscular junction
What do cocaine, TCAs and amphetamines do?
