- Acetylcholine [r]: A chemical transmitter in both the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and central nervous system (CNS) in many organisms including humans. [e]
- Diazinon [r]: A toxic acetylcholinesterase inhibitor and pesticide used on many crops. Effects similar to nerve agents. [e]
- Neurotransmitter [r]: A class of chemicals which relay, amplify or modulate electrical signals between a neuron and other cells in the nervous system. [e]
- Snake (animal) venom [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Clostridium botulinum [r]: Gram-positive, anaerobic rod shaped bacterium that produces the neurotoxin botulin, which causes the flaccid muscular paralysis seen in botulism, and is also the main paralytic agent in botox. [e]
- Autonomic nervous system [r]: Neurones that are not under conscious control, comprising two antagonistic components, the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. [e]
- Parasympathetic nervous system [r]: Motor division of the autonomic nervous system, which has cholinergic nerve endings, which inhibits the heart, contracts the pupils, and produces a vagus-insulin axis of activity. [e]
- Cyclooxygenase 2 [r]: An enzyme that produces inflammatory prostaglandins from arachidonic acid; it does not produce suppressors of gastrointestina mucus secretion [e]
- Cholinesterase inhibitor [r]: Chemicals that block the action of the enzyme cholinesterase, which breaks down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine; continuous presence of acetylcholine causes continuous muscle contraction [e]
