This prelab was kind of confusing. First we were given a normal case and the information provided explained how sweating in triggered. The way I remember it is that the preganglionic nerve is activated and then will release acetylcholine. This causes the acetylcholine to bind to the nicotine receptors that will cause the receptor to open a channel by changing shape, which allows sodium to flow into the cell. Once full, there is an action potential that that travels down the nerve, which leads to signals that allow acetylcholine to be released; however not all these cells arrive at the listening cell to be cut by the acetylcholinesterase or bound to muscarinic receptors, some wander away. I found this information to be review from lab 5; but,
