brain stem
nicotinic
is ionotropic type
muscarinic
is metabotropic (M&M)
adrenergic
is metabotropic
ADRENAL MEDULLA
➢ Wen stimulated by sympathetic preganglionic neurons, it an produce noradrenaline and adrenaline
lamina I, II, V
nociception
➢ exteroception
sensitivity to stimuli originating outside of the body
➢ proprioception
sense stimuli arising within the body regarding position, motion, and equilibrium.
➢ nociception
transmission of pain (not the feeling of pain)
➢ mechanoreceptors-
respond to stretch or deformation
