Best Answer

The parasympathetic nervous system, which uses acetylcholine almost exclusively to send its messages, is said to be almost entirely cholinergic. Neuromuscular junctions, preganglionic neurons of the sympathetic nervous system, the basal forebrain, and brain stem complexes are also cholinergic.

Does sweat glands contain cholinergic receptors?

All the post-ganglionic parasympathatic reseptors are cholinergic (muscarinic) . and all the post-ganglionic sympaythatic reseptors are adrenergic . Except for sweat glands , Piloerecter muscles , and a few blood vessels they use sympathatic nerves but a cholinergic resepotrs . -Note that all the pre-ganglionic ( sympathatic and para sympathatic ) reseptors are cholinergic ( Nicotinic ). -Note that the sweat glands on the palms of the hand are adrenergic , but the rest of the sweat glands are cholinergic.


How come the stimulation of sweat secretion is carried out by sympathetic system by MUSCARINIC RECEPTORS as said in your table eventhough they are pararsympathetic cholinergic receptors?

Describe the innervation of the blood vessel?

Most of the blood vessels are innervated by sympathetic sympathetic adrenergic nerves.It releases norepinephrine which act as a neurotransmitter. The skin and few areas of body have both sympathetic cholinergic and parasympathetic cholinergic nerves which release acetylcholine,which act as a primary neurotransmitter.

What is cholinergic and anti cholinergic drugs?

Cholinergic drugs are used for urinary retention, myasthenia gravis, glaucoma. Cholinergic drugs act like the neurotransmitter ACh (acetylcholine). Anti Cholinergic (also called Cholinergic blocking) drugs block the action of the ACh. Anti Cholinergic drugs are used foe pylorospasm & peptic ulcers, bladder overactivity, parkinson's disease
