Postganglionic axons secrete neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine or norepinephrine at their target organs. These neurotransmitters play a crucial role in transmitting signals from the autonomic nervous system to regulate various physiological functions.
No, parasympathetic postganglionic axons secrete the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, not norepinephrine. Norepinephrine is the primary neurotransmitter used by postganglionic neurons of the sympathetic nervous system.
Yes, the parasympathetic division typically has long preganglionic axons and short ganglionic axons. The ganglia of the parasympathetic division are typically located near or within the target organ, leading to short postganglionic axons.
Yes, when stimulated the sympathetic postganglionic fibers release norepinepherine (20%) and epinepherine (80%).
Actually, the postganglionic receptors for the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) are predominantly muscarinic receptors. These receptors are activated by acetylcholine released from postganglionic parasympathetic nerve terminals.
No, parasympathetic postganglionic fibers do not come from adrenergic fibers. Parasympathetic postganglionic fibers release acetylcholine as their neurotransmitter, whereas adrenergic fibers release norepinephrine.

The autonomic reflex contains two. (preganglionic and postganglionic)
In parasympathetic reflex arc the preganglionic nerve fibre is longer than post ganglionic fibre, that is the synapse occur near the organ or tissue. While in sympathetic reflex arc both the pre and post have moderate sizes. The postganglionic fibre of parasympathetic always secrete acetylcholine as nuerotransmitter while postganglionic fibre of sympatheic reflex arc mostly secrete norepinephrine or epinephrine as nuerotransmitter. Some nerve fibres may secrete acetylcholine. For example postganglionic sympatehtic nerve fibres of sweat glands, pilorectal muscles and few blood vessels
No; some axons synapse in nearby autonomic ganglion. postganglionic fibers travel along either sympathetic nerves or rejoin at the spinal nerve.
Actually, the postganglionic receptors for the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) are predominantly muscarinic receptors. These receptors are activated by acetylcholine released from postganglionic parasympathetic nerve terminals.
No, parasympathetic postganglionic fibers do not come from adrenergic fibers. Parasympathetic postganglionic fibers release acetylcholine as their neurotransmitter, whereas adrenergic fibers release norepinephrine.
The opposite of postganglionic is preganglionic. Preganglionic neurons are responsible for carrying nerve impulses from the central nervous system to ganglia, while postganglionic neurons transmit nerve impulses from ganglia to target organs.
Oligodendrocytes are the type of neuroglia in the CNS that secrete myelin. They wrap around axons to provide insulation and facilitate faster nerve signal conduction.
