1. What would occur if there were holes in the myelin of a nerve cell that were not nodes?  If there was a disease of the cerebrospinal fluid which cells would be effected first? Which cells would respond? Acetylcholine is a well-known neurotransmitter at the neuromuscular junction (excitatory) and cardiac muscle (inhibitory). Explain how this works, and why this is interesting and useful?
