Smooth Muscle Cells
Andrenergic fibers release Norepinephrine and Cholinergic fibers release Acetylcholine.
Norepinephrine (otherwise known as Noradrenaline). Acetylcholine IS NOT the right answer.
The two main neurotransmitters released by the axon terminals of autonomic neurons are acetylcholine and norepinephrine. Acetylcholine is predominantly released by parasympathetic neurons, while norepinephrine is released by sympathetic 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.
No, parasympathetic postganglionic axons secrete the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, not norepinephrine. Norepinephrine is the primary neurotransmitter used by postganglionic neurons of the sympathetic nervous system.
Acetylcholine and norepinephrine both affect smooth muscle contraction. They stimulate contraction in some muscles and inhibits contraction in others.
norepinephrine. Acetylcholine mainly causes smooth muscle contraction, while norepinephrine can either cause contraction or relaxation depending on the type of receptor it binds to on the smooth muscle cell.
acetylcholine and norepinephrine are both excitatory neurotransmitters Acetylcholine (learning and memory) Nor-epinephrine gets you fired up (flight or flight) and also gets you focused. Drdenisep@aol.com

No. They secrete acetylcholine only.

Yes, neurotransmitters like acetylcholine and norepinephrine can influence the rate of firing of the sinoatrial (SA) node, which is the heart's natural pacemaker. Acetylcholine slows down the firing rate, while norepinephrine speeds it up, thus regulating heart rate.
Examples of neurtransmitter are, acetylcholine, norepinephrine, dopamine and serotin,
Dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine are catecholamines.
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.
You have acetylcholine liberated at ganglion in both sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. You have noradrenaline secreted at post ganglionic sympathetic nerve terminals. You have acetylcholine secreted at post ganglionic parasympathetic nerve terminals.
