Unit 5 - ANS Flashcards
the axon terminals of all preganglionic neurons release the chemical _______, which transmits impulses across the autonomic synapses.
acetylcholine
The axon terminals of almost all _______ neurons release acetylcholine into their synaptic junctions.
postganglionic parasympathetic
_________ axon terminals are the only axon terminals to release norepinephrine.
postganglionic sympathetic
axons whose terminals release _______ are called cholinergic fibers
acetylcholine
axons whose terminals release acetylcholine are called what?
cholinergic fibers
______ are axon fibers that release chiefly N. epinephrine
adrenergic fibers
adrenergic fibers are axons that release chiefly _____.
N. epinephrine
all preganglionic fibers and all parasympathetic postganglionic fibers are classified as ________ fibers.
cholinergic
postganglionic sympathetic fibers are the only fibers known definitely to be ________
adrenergic
the chemical transmitter presumably released only by postganglionic sympathetic fibers is
N. epinephrine
diarrhea would be a __________response.
parasympathetic
the general function of this nervous system is to regulate the responses of the visceral effectors in ways that tend to enable the body to expend maximal energy
sympathetic nervous system
a drug that inhibits the parasympathetic system would or would not make your mouth feel dry
WOULD
a drug that inhibits the parasympathetic system would or would not constrict your pupils
would not
a drug that inhibits the parasympathetic system would or would not make your heart beat faster
would
a drug that inhibits the parasympathetic system would or would not make you constipated
would
is cranial sacral parasympathetic or sympathetic
parasympathetic
is the thoracocolumbar parasympathetic or sympathetic
sympathetic
a neurotransmitter used by preganglionic neuron (parasympathetic)
acetylcholine
a neurotransmitter used by a preganglionic neuron (sympathetic)
acetylcholine
