1
Q
what do all pre-ganglionic neurons do (ANS)
A
exocytose Ach
2
Q
where does the exocytosed Ach act on (ANS)
A
post-ganglionic nicotinic receptors
3
Q
what type of channels are post-ganglionic nicotinic receptors (ANS)
A
ligand-gated Na+ channels
4
Q
What does the NT released by post-ganglionic depend on (ANS)
A
whether it is being released by the sympathetic or parasympathetic system
5
Q
what NT is mainly released by the sympathetic system (ANS)
A
noradrenaline
6
Q
which NT is sometimes released by the sympathetic system (ANS)
A
Ach
7
Q
Which NT is mainly released by the parasympathetic system (ANS)
A
