Abstract
A critical review covering the role of acetylcholine in synaptic transmission is presented. The author discusses the action of acetylcholine in the excitation of nerve, striated and cardiac muscle, sympathetic ganglia models of synapses and in various parts of the central nervous system. No new evidence is presented.Keywords
