      Acetylcholine (ACh) is a neurotransmitter that acts as a chemical messenger in the nervous system, for example with the control of muscles in the body.

      Hi!
      Very interesting question.
      Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter. It is a very important one because it controls the movements of the muscles. Acetylcholine does this by carrying a “signal” that the muscles in the body will understand.
