Axon terminals of all preganglionic neurons release what chemical?
Acetylcholine
What transmits impulses across autonomic synapses?
Acetylcholine
Axon terminals of ______________ _______________ neurons release acetylcholine into their neuroeffector junctions.
POSTganglionic PARAsympathetic
only axon terminals that release norepinephrine:
SYMpathetic POSTganglionic neurons
Cholinergic fibers are axons whose terminals release?
Acetylcholine (ACh)
Adrenergic fibers are axons that release?
Norepinephrine
Classification of all PREganglionic and PARAsympathetic POSTganglionic fibers:
Cholinergic fibers
only POSTganglionic SYMpathetic fibers are known as:
Adrenergic
POSTganglionic SYMpathetic fibers release this chemical transmitter:
Norepinephrine
