  Insecticides: Household and agricultural  Nerve gas: Warfare weapon  Led to development of Alzheimer’s treatments  Jet oil Where Can They Be Found?

  Produced by the reaction of alcohols and phosphoric acid  They are lipophilic- fat loving  Organic compounds  What does organic mean? Chemistry

  Organophosphates can accumulate in the fats of humans and animals causing toxic poisoning. The metabolites are even more toxic.  Veterans and agricultural workers are most often affected. Here’s the Truth

  Organophosphates can disrupt signals in the brain.  Its all about the nervous system! Why Are Organophosphates Toxic?

  Neuron : A cell that transmits electrical or chemical signals in the body  Neurotransmitter : A chemical that sends a signal from one neuron to another  Synapse : The connection in between neurons where neurotransmitters pass. Vocabulary to Know

  Acetylcholine: A neurotransmitter involved in transmission of signals that regulate muscle stimulation, learning and memory.  Acetylcholinesterase: An enzyme that degrades acetylcholine (substrate).  Why might this be important? Acetylcholine and Acetylcholinesterase
