what PNS subdivision is voluntary control?
somatic
PNS subdivision that is involuntary
autonomic
autonomic NS that is fight or flight
sympathetic
autonomic NS that is rest and digest
parasympathetic
what is considered the “gateway” to the PNS
cranial and spinal nerves
where are two places nicotinic ACh receptors are located?
muscle end plates and nerve cells
how many subunits does a nicotinic receptor have?
5
are nicotinic ACh receptors found on postganglionic dendrites of sympathetic, parasympathetic, or both?
both
this type of ACh receptor is found at parasympathetic effector organs
muscarinic
this ACh receptor is not ionic, has 7-transmembrane G-protein receptors, and has 5 different types
muscarinic receptors
what type of receptor are the adrenergic receptors?
g-protein coupled
is the sympathetic division adrengeric or cholinergic?
adrenergic
is the parasympathetic division adrenergic or cholinergic?
cholinergic
what is the main PS neurotransmitter?
ACh
What are the main neurotransmitters of the sympathetic NS?
NE and epi
which branch of the ANS is short preganglionic and long postganglionic?
sympathetic
which branch of the ANS is long preganglionic and short postganglionic?
parasympathetic

ACh, muscarinic
what molecule does the adrenal medulla release into the blood (as a hormone)
epinephrine
