What else can I help you with?
Which neurotransmitter will be involved in sweating?
Acetylcholine is the primary neurotransmitter involved in triggering sweat production. It is released by nerve fibers that innervate the sweat glands, leading to the stimulation of sweat secretion.
What fibers are the sweat glands innervated by?
Sweat glands are innervated by adrenergic sympathetic nerve fibers from the autonomic nervous system. These fibers release norepinephrine, which stimulates the sweat glands to produce sweat.
Where is the part where the postganglionic fiber and the spinal nerve innervate glands in the body?
Postganglionic fibers innervate glands in the body primarily through the autonomic nervous system, specifically the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. These fibers originate from autonomic ganglia and connect to target tissues, including glands, often by traveling alongside spinal nerves. In the case of sympathetic innervation, postganglionic fibers may follow blood vessels or directly innervate glands like the adrenal medulla. In contrast, parasympathetic fibers arise from cranial nerves and sacral spinal nerves, directly influencing glands such as salivary and lacrimal glands.
Do the post-ganglionic sympathetic fibers release acetylcholine?
No, post-ganglionic sympathetic fibers mostly release norepinephrine. But they do release some ACh to the sweat glands, which causes concurrent vasodilation of surrounding blood vessels (paired with release of bradykinin from sweat glands).
Where do sympathetic postganglionic fibers end?
Sympathetic postganglionic fibers end in effector organs such as smooth muscles, cardiac muscles, and glands. They innervate these structures to modulate their activity in response to stress or stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system.
What parts of the body receive only sympathetic fibers?
adrenal medulla, sweat glands, arrector pili muscles of the skin, kidneys, most blood vessels
Are there sweat glands on your palms?
No, they have sweat glands
Did dinosaurs have sweat glands?
Only mammals have sweat glands. Dinosaurs were reptiles, so they did not have sweat glands.
Where does the sweat originate?
Sweat glands are found in the skin.
What controls the sweat glands?
Your sweat glands are controlled by autonomic nervous system. They get the nervous supply through the sympathetic nerves. But functionally they are parasympathetic nerves, because the acetylcholine is secreted over there at the terminal end.
How many sweat glands are in your feet?
There are 250,000 sweat glands in a pair of feet.
Which sweat glands in dogs are the most important?
In the sweat glands.
