ANS Overview Flashcards
primary neurotransmitter of preganglionic neurons
ACh
neurotransmitter of postganglionic PSNS
ACh
neurotransmitter of postganglionic SNS
norepinephrine
preganglionic PSNS neurons length
long
postganglionic PSNS neurons length
short
preganglionic SNS neurons length
short
postganglionic SNS neurons lenth
long
sweat glands exception
SNS post ganglionic neurons release NE with sweaty palms, normally is thermoregulation in PSNS and release ACh
adrenal glands exception
preganglionic do not synapse in paravertebral, release epinephrine instead of norepinephrine
kidneys exception
affected by dopamine
most postganglionic sympathetic neurons release which neurotransmitter?
norepinephrine
classes of cholinoceptors and respective neurotransmitter (s)
muscarinic and nicotinic, acetylcholine
classes of adrenoceptors and respective neurotransmitter (s)
alpha and beta, norepinephrine and epinephrine
nicotinic receptors
ganglionic, skeletal muscle, neuronal CNS
nicotinic signal transduction pathway
Na+ ion channels
