How Muscles Work 1963

Acetylcholine is a neuromodulator in both the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and in the central nervous system (CNS) as. In the peripheral nervous system, acetylcholine activates muscles, and is a major neurotransmitter in the autonomic nervous system. This is clipped from the 1963 film, Nerve Agents, available at the US National Archives. The film is from the U. S. Army Training Film series on the features and tactical use of GA (tabun), GB (sarin), and V-class nerve agents as munitions for chemical warfare. Explains how the nerve gas agents enter the human body and the symptoms of poisoning, and shows the protective and first-aid measures that may be taken against them.
