Does parasympathetic have postganglionic axons secrete norepinephrine?

no, not all postganglionic sympathetic fibre neuron secrete NE


Do all visceral motor neurons synapse in a sympathetic ganglion?

No; some axons synapse in nearby autonomic ganglion. postganglionic fibers travel along either sympathetic nerves or rejoin at the spinal nerve.


Is the aorta an afferent or efferent blood vessel?

Afferent means going towards; efferent means going away from. In reference to the heart, all veins, including the inferior and superior vena cavae, are afferent. All arteries are efferent.


Will the efferent explode?

All organs can be damaged; the term explosion is not adequate.


Why does acetylcholine causes vaso-dilation?

In some muscle tissue acetylcholine causes vaso-dilation, but not all. Norepinephrine is the opposite competor/effector of acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is present in all preganglionic fibers, both parasympathetic and sympathetic. Acetylcholine is present in postganglionic parasympatic fibers, where norepinephrine is present in the postganglionic sympathetic fibers. In some tissues acetylcholine causes constriction. Can also reduce heart rate vi the vagus nerve. Acetylcholine is the only neurotransmitter used in the somatic nervous system! Acetylcholine can effect vasodilation by several mechanisms, including activation of endothelial nitric oxide (NO) synthase and prostaglandin (PG) production. In human skin, exogenous Acetylcholine increases both skin blood flow and bioavailable NO levels, but the relative increase is much greater in skin blood flow than NO. So this may lead us to speculate that acetylcholine may dilate cutaneous blood vessels through PGs, as well as NO. In some muscle tissue acetylcholine causes vaso-dilation, but not all.

Difference between afferent and efferent in kidney?

Efferent means going away from and afferent is going toward. The afferent arteriole of the kidney carrys blood toward the glomerulus, whereas the efferent arteriole carrys blood away from the glomerulus.
