A Level Biology Revision (Year 13) "Synaptic Transmission"

In this video, we look at synaptic transmission across a cholinergic synapse. First we explore the structure of synapses, including the roles of calcium ion channels and the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. We then explore the events that take place when a synapse is triggered including the role of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase.

Thank you for such an informative video.
I had a small question: I had learned that the acetylcholine is broken down into acetate and choline by the acetylcholinesterase enzyme. So, are acetate and ethanoic acid the same thing?

[@Freesciencelessons]

Yes that's correct.
