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.
Where are the receptors for ACH located?
Acetylcholine (ACh) receptors are found in both the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). In the CNS, they are located on neurons, while in the PNS, they are found on muscle cells and at neuromuscular junctions.
Which component of the nervous system makes contact with the environment?
The peripheral nervous system (PNS) makes contact with the environment. It includes sensory receptors that detect stimuli like touch, temperature, and pain, transmitting this information to the central nervous system for processing.
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.
Is the pacinian corpuscle in the pns or the CNS?
The Pacinian corpuscle is located in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). It is a type of mechanoreceptor found in various tissues, including the skin and joints, and is responsible for detecting deep pressure and vibration. These sensory receptors transmit signals to the central nervous system (CNS) for processing but are themselves part of the PNS.
The postganglionic sympathetic fiber originates from?
The postganglionic sympathetic fiber originates from PNS within a ganglion
Drugs that competitively block the action of acetylcholine at parasympathetic postganglionic effector cell receptors are called?
Anit-Muscarinic
What are Agonist and antagonist of muscarinic receptors?
Agonists of muscarinic receptors are substances that bind to the receptor and activate it, mimicking the action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Examples include pilocarpine and muscarine. Antagonists, on the other hand, bind to the receptor without activating it, thus blocking the action of acetylcholine. Examples include atropine and scopolamine.
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).
How many stereoisomers for muscarine?
muscarine has three stereocenters (aka chirality centers) therefore: 2^3=8 in conclusion, muscarine can have 8 stereoisomers.

Preganglionic sympathetic fibers trigger the release of?
Preganglionic sympathetic fibers trigger the release of acetylcholine at the synapse with postganglionic neurons in the sympathetic ganglia. This neurotransmitter binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on the postganglionic neuron, which then propagate the signal to release norepinephrine at the target tissue.
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
In sympathetic and para symptetic nervous system where are the nerves and what and where are the receptors.?
Sympathetic nerves originate inside the vertebral column, toward the middle of the spinal cord in the intermediolateral cell column (or lateral horn), beginning at the first thoracic segment of the spinal cord and are thought to extend to the second or third lumbar segments. Because its cells begin in the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spinal cord, the SNS is said to have a thoracolumbar outflow. Axons of these nerves leave the spinal cord through the anterior rootlet/root. They pass near the spinal (sensory) ganglion, where they enter the anterior rami of the spinal nerves. At the synapses within the ganglia, preganglionic neurons release acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that activates nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on postganglionic neurons. In response to this stimulus postganglionic neurons - with two important exceptions - release norepinephrine, which activates adrenergic receptors on the peripheral target tissues. The parasympathetic nerves (PSNS) are autonomic (aka "visceral") branches of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Parasympathetic nerve fibers arise from the central nervous system with the S2, S3, and S4 spinal nerves and from the third, seventh, ninth, and tenth cranial nerves.The parasympathetic nervous system uses chiefly acetylcholine (ACh) as its neurotransmitter, although other peptides (such as cholecystokinin) may act on the PSNS as a neurotransmitter.
