Neuromuscular Junction Cholinergic Synapse Acetycholine Excitatory Difference Aceylcholine

Acetylcholine is always excitatory at the neuromuscular junction but can be excitatory or inhibitory at cholinergic synapses.

At the neuromuscular junction, acetylcholine is always excitatory, whereas at cholinergic synapses, it can be either excitatory or inhibitory.

Back In neuromuscular junction acetycholine always acts as excitatory
In cholinergic synapse the acetycholine can act as inhibitory or excitatory
