cholinergic synapse
Definition
Target type: cellularcomponent
A synapse that uses acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter. [GOC:dos]
The cholinergic synapse is a specialized type of synapse that utilizes acetylcholine as its neurotransmitter. The cellular component of this synapse comprises several distinct structures, each playing a crucial role in signal transmission. These components include:'
'1. **Presynaptic Neuron**: This neuron synthesizes and packages acetylcholine into synaptic vesicles. It also contains proteins that regulate vesicle release, such as synaptotagmin and SNARE proteins.'
'2. **Presynaptic Terminal**: The terminal of the presynaptic neuron is specialized for the release of acetylcholine. It contains numerous synaptic vesicles that store acetylcholine. The presynaptic terminal also has a dense network of mitochondria, which provide energy for the synthesis and release of the neurotransmitter.'
'3. **Synaptic Cleft**: This narrow gap between the presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons separates the two membranes. It contains a specialized extracellular matrix that helps to stabilize the synapse and regulate neurotransmitter diffusion.'
'4. **Postsynaptic Neuron**: This neuron receives the acetylcholine signal. Its membrane contains acetylcholine receptors, which bind acetylcholine and initiate a signal transduction cascade.'
'5. **Postsynaptic Density**: This specialized protein-rich region on the postsynaptic membrane contains acetylcholine receptors, scaffolding proteins, and signaling molecules. It serves as a platform for the integration of synaptic signals.'
'6. **Synaptic Vesicles**: These small membrane-bound organelles store acetylcholine in the presynaptic terminal. They are transported to the presynaptic membrane, where they fuse and release acetylcholine into the synaptic cleft.'
'7. **Acetylcholine Receptors**: These membrane-bound proteins are located on the postsynaptic membrane. They bind acetylcholine and initiate a signal transduction cascade, ultimately leading to changes in the postsynaptic neuron's activity.'
'8. **Acetylcholinesterase**: This enzyme is present in the synaptic cleft and rapidly breaks down acetylcholine, terminating its signaling activity. This ensures that acetylcholine does not linger in the synaptic cleft and allows for precise and rapid communication between neurons.'
