Cell bodies are located in sympathetic ganglia
unmyelinated axons
innervate effector organs via gray rami communicantes

secrete NE unless they innervate eccrine sweat glands where the secrete ____

located in adrenal medulla
receive innervation from preganglionic sympathetic neurons
They secrete _______(80%) and _____(20%)

located in either the brain or the spinal cord
myelinated axons
release ACh

Located either directly on the effector organ or in close proximity to the effector organ

unmyelinated and usually located on effector organ.
Release ACh as the neurotransmitter

Converts choline and acetyl CoA to acetylcholine.

degrades ACh. Choline is taken back upinto the nerve terminal for reuse

Classes of cholinergic receptors

Excites neuromuscular junction
excites sympathetic and parasympathetic postganglionic neurons at autonomic ganglia

inhibites or excites effector organs depending on organ

subtype of muscarinic receptor located in the heart and smooth mm

subtype of muscarinic receptor located everywhere in the periphery

subtype of muscarinic receptor located in the brain

Antagonist to Neuromuscular junction

antagonist to autonomic ganglia of nicotinic receptors

Antagonist to muscarinic receptors

____ is release as a hormone from chromaffin cells but NOT from sympathetic postganglionic nerves.

synthesized from tyrosine.
Can be taken up and reused by nerve terminal
undergo extraneuronal uptake
or be metabolized into inactive substances

NE is converted to ____ in the chromaffin cells

found on effector organs or tissues and mediate the effects of released NE or the actions of circulating epinephrine

Agonist of the alpha adrenergic receptors

Antagonist of the alpha adrenergic receptors

Agonist of beta adrenergic receptors

Antagonist of B1and B2 adrenergic receptors

excitatory except in GI where they are inhibitory

Primary receptor on effector organs and tissues mediating excititatory effects except in GI

located on presynaptic noradrenergic terminals and act as autoreceptors
Extra neural release of norepinephrine is inhibited

Produce inhibitory effects except in the heart, where they produce excitatory effects

Receptors found in heart
excites heart increasing HR, Force of contraction, Conduction Velocity

receptors located on most organs and mediate the dilator and inhibitory effects of beta-adrenergic receptor activation.

receptors located primarily in brown adipose tissue and are excited by circulating Epi
Mediate lipolysis when excited
does not follow rules

True or false
there is almost always some autonomic nerve activity from both the SNS and PNS a=under all types of conditions
