Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A Acetylcholine
Neurotransmitters are the chemicals that transmit the nerve impulse across the synapse. They are stored in synaptic vesicles of axon terminal and are released into the synaptic cleft. Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter secreted by both pre- and post-ganglionic parasympathetic cholinergic neurons. The enzyme cholinesterase inactivates excess acetylcholine into its chemical components acetic acid and choline. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
