Summary Introduction

To review:

The excitation of skeletal muscle and inhibition of heart muscle by Ach.

Introduction:

ACh, also known as acetylcholine, is a neurotransmitter that is mainly released at the neuromuscular junctions. It is often synthesized from acetic acid and choline under the influence of an enzyme called choline acetyltransferase. ACh is then transported into the synaptic vesicles, from which it is then released at a synapse by exocytosis of the synaptic vesicle with the presynaptic membrane.

Case Study—Ella Ella has a family history of diabetes. She wants to follow a healthful eating pattern that can lower her risk for developing this condition. Her dietitian recommends a goal of 450 to 600 kcal per meal and advises Ella to follow the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) for carbohydrates and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2015-2020, which recommend limiting added sugar. She also recommends that Ella choose whole grains rather than processed grains. Ella decides to pack a lunch to take to work every day. This morning she’s making a sandwich for her lunch.   Categories of Sandwich Options (Top of the screen) Breads Spreads Cheeses Vegetables Proteins Specific food items to select White Bread 6-inches Honey Mustard Provolone LettuceTomatoBell Peppers Turkey Part A - Reading Nutrition Facts Panels for Total Kilocalories   How many total kilocalories are in Ella’s sandwich exactl  ______kcal ?   Part B - Reading Nutrition Facts Panels for…
