What are norepinephrine releasing fibers called?

Andrenergic fibers release Norepinephrine and Cholinergic fibers release Acetylcholine.


The sympathetic nervous system releases the neurotransmitter?

Norepinephrine (otherwise known as Noradrenaline). Acetylcholine IS NOT the right answer.


What are the two neurotransmitters that axon terminals of autonomic neurons release?

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.


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.


Does parasympathetic have postganglionic axons secrete norepinephrine?

No, parasympathetic postganglionic axons secrete the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, not norepinephrine. Norepinephrine is the primary neurotransmitter used by postganglionic neurons of the sympathetic nervous system.

Which muscle contraction does acetylcholine and norepinephrine affect?

Acetylcholine and norepinephrine both affect smooth muscle contraction. They stimulate contraction in some muscles and inhibits contraction in others.


The two neurotransmitters that affect smooth muscle cells are acetylcholine and?

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.


Why are Acetylcholine and Norepinephrine common neurotransmitters?

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

Does parasympathetic nerves secrete norepinephrine?

No. They secrete acetylcholine only.


The sympathetic nervous system releases the neurotransmitter?

Norepinephrine (otherwise known as Noradrenaline). Acetylcholine IS NOT the right answer.

Do neurotransmitters affect SA node?

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.


What does neurotansmitter mean?

Examples of neurtransmitter are, acetylcholine, norepinephrine, dopamine and serotin,


Which of the following neurotransmitter is a catecholamine?

Dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine are catecholamines.


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.


Two major neurotransmitters of the autonomic nervous system?

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.
