Nitric oxide (NO)
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)
Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP)

22
Q

What are the steps of neurotransmission?

A
  1. synthesis
  2. storage
  3. release (vesicle fuse with nerve terminal)
  4. action at receptor
  5. termination (reuptake, enzyme degradation, or diffusion)
23
Q

What type of receptors are alpha and beta?

24
