Etymology
The word ACh stands for acetylcholine, which comes from two parts: acetyl, a word linked to 'vinegar', and choline, a nutrient in the body. So ACh is the name of a small chemical that helps nerve cells 'talk' to each other, and that is why doctors measure it to study memory and brain diseases.
