Etymology of CHOLINERGIC SYSTEM

The term "cholinergic system" can be broken down into two parts: "cholinergic" and "system".

The word "cholinergic" comes from the root word "choline", which refers to a nitrogenous organic compound found in many living organisms. This term was coined by German chemist Adolf Strecker in 1865 and derived from the Greek word "chole" meaning "bile" and the suffix "-ine" indicating a composition or derivative.

The term "system" comes from the Latin word "systema", which means a structured or organized set of components or parts working together to achieve a common function or purpose.
