Question 1

Sympathetic

Answer 1

“fight-or-flight”; For exercise, excitement, emergency; mass activation; Short preganglionic axons with many branches simultaneously influence several effectors

Question 2

Parasympathetic

Answer 2

“rest-and-digest”; for conserving energy, replenishing nutrients; fairly localized; Long preganglionic axons with limited branches influence only one or a few effectors at the same time

Question 3

Adrenergic Neurons

Answer 3

Cells that release norepinephrine; Most sympathetic ganglionic neurons are adrenergic; Target cells have adrenergic receptors

Question 4

Cholinergic Neurons

Answer 4

Release Acetylcholine; target cells have colinergic receptors

Question 5

“fight-or-flight”; For exercise, excitement, emergency; mass activation; Short preganglionic axons with many branches simultaneously influence several effectors

Answer 5

Sympathetic

Question 6

Question 8

Release Acetylcholine; target cells have colinergic receptors

Answer 8

Cholinergic Neurons
