What neurotransmitter is part of the PNS?
The chemical most commonly found in both pre- and postganglionic synapses in the parasympathetic system is the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
Which component of the nervous system makes contact with the environment?
The somatic nervous system of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) makes contact with the enviroment.
What neurotranmitters are released by smpathetic and parasympthetic neurons?
The 2 divisions of the autonomic nervous system (sympathetic and parasympathetic) both have 2 areas where neurotransmitter is released. ?They have ganglionic synapses in the periphery wherein neurotransmitter is released and have synapses on the target organs wherein neurotransmitter is released. ?So this means there is preganglionic and postganglionic release of neurotransmitter.Sympathetic preganglionic neurotransmitter is Acetylcholine. ?Acetylcholine affects muscarinic receptors here.Sympathetic postganglionic neurotransmitter is Norepinephrine. ?Norepinephrine affects alpha or beta receptors here. ?Parasympathetic preganglionic neurotransmitter is Acetylcholine. ? Acetylcholine affects muscarinic receptors here.Parasympathetic postganglionic neurotransmitter is Acetylcholine. ?In this case Acetylcholine affects muscarinic receptors.?Sympathetic neurons are considered to be adrenergic & sympathetic neurons are considered to be cholinergic.
Does parasympathetic have postganglionic axons secrete norepinephrine?
no, not all postganglionic sympathetic fibre neuron secrete NE
What are the two types of catecholamines?
alpha receptors make the heart beat faster, the pupils of the eyes dilate, and the muscles contract. The beta receptors have similar effects and also cause the bronchi in the lungs to open up
The postganglionic sympathetic fiber originates from?
The postganglionic sympathetic fiber originates from PNS within a ganglion
What are Agonist and antagonist of muscarinic receptors?
Agonist is muscarine and antagonist is atropine.
Does epinephrine affect the muscarinic receptors?
No. Muscarinic receptors are affected by acetylcholinergic neurotransmitters (ie. muscarine, atropine). Only the parasympathetic nervous system have muscarinic receptors. Epinephrine affects adrenergic receptors (symapthetic nervous system).
What neurotransmitter is part of the PNS?
The chemical most commonly found in both pre- and postganglionic synapses in the parasympathetic system is the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
Drugs that competitively block the action of acetylcholine at parasympathetic postganglionic effector cell receptors are called?
Anit-Muscarinic
How many stereoisomers for muscarine?
muscarine has three stereocenters (aka chirality centers) therefore: 2^3=8 in conclusion, muscarine can have 8 stereoisomers.
Which component of the nervous system makes contact with the environment?
The somatic nervous system of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) makes contact with the enviroment.

How would a drug that stimulates acetylcholine receptors affect the sympathetic nervous system?
Preganglionic fibers for the SNS release ACh; so a drug that stimulates ACh receptors would stimulate the postganglionic fibers of sypathetic nerves, resulting in increased sympathetic activity
What is the function of the PNS?
The peripheral nervous system, or PNS, conveys nerve impulses from your receptors to the central nervous system, or CNS. They also will convey nerve impulses from the CNS to your effector organs, typically a muscle or gland.
Does parasympathetic have postganglionic axons secrete norepinephrine?
no, not all postganglionic sympathetic fibre neuron secrete NE
What are the two types of catecholamines?
alpha receptors make the heart beat faster, the pupils of the eyes dilate, and the muscles contract. The beta receptors have similar effects and also cause the bronchi in the lungs to open up
