Focus 5 Flashcards
Sympathetic postganglionic fibers release the neurotransmitter
Norepinephrine
The adrenal medulla receive stimulation from
Sympathetic preganglionic fibers
An adrenergic neuron produces the neurotransmitter
Norepinephrine
Cholinergic neurons release the neurotransmitter
ACh
The major control and integration center of the ANS
Hypothalamus
Where are cholinergic neurons located
- Both parasympathetic neurons
- somatic neurons
- pregang sympathetic
Parasympathetic postganglionic neurons release the neurotransmitter
Acetylcholine
What two types of receptors are in the parasympathetic system
- Nicotonic
– Muscarinic
Which receptors are at the effector in the sympathetic system
Alpha and beta receptors
Nicotinic and muscarinic receptors =
Cholinergic receptors
Short preganglionic Long the postganglionic.
Sympathetic
Long preganglionic short postganglionic
Parasympathetic
Preganglionic – acetylcholine
Postganglionic – norepinephrine
Sympathetic
Pre-ganglionic – Acetylcholine
Postganglionic – acetylcholine
Sympathetic
Muscarinic receptors where Na moves in. More K in than out
EPSP depolarized
