At the effector end (nerve to effector organ junction) the transmitter is Nor Adrenaline. However, at the nerve-nerve junctions (ganglions) the transmitter is Acetyl Choline.

Is the adrenal medulla a misplaced sympathetic ganglion?

The adrenal medulla has many similarities with post-ganglionic sympathetic neurons, they release catecholamine because medullary cells are derived from the neural crest and, as such, are simply modified neurons. The adrenal gland releases epinephrine, norepinephrine and dopamine in response to neural not hormonal signals just like postganglionic neurons. The most significant different between adrenal medulla cells and true postganglionic sympathetic neurons is the absence of axons. The neurotrasmitter has become a hormone and is released into the blood.


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.


What hormone is released from stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system?

Anatomically, the adrenal medulla develops from neural crest tissue, and it is directly controlled by sympathetic NS. The medullary cells respond to this stimulation by releasing epineprhrine (80%) or norepinephrine (20%), which can act in conjunction with the sympathetic NS to elicit the fight-or-flight response to stressors.epinephrine, from the adrenal medulla.Norepinephrine/Noradrenaline working with Epinephrine/Adrenalineepinephrine and norepinephrine


What neurotransmitter functions as a common inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain?

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. It works to reduce the activity of neurons, thus promoting relaxation and reducing anxiety. Dysregulation of GABA signaling has been linked to various neurological conditions, such as epilepsy and anxiety disorders.


What are the two branches of the autonomic system?

The two integral parts of the autonomic nervous system are the sympathetic nervous system responsible for, "rest and digest" and the parasympathetic nervous system that is responsible for, "fight or flight".

Describe the innervation of the blood vessel?

Most of the blood vessels are innervated by sympathetic sympathetic adrenergic nerves.It releases norepinephrine which act as a neurotransmitter. The skin and few areas of body have both sympathetic cholinergic and parasympathetic cholinergic nerves which release acetylcholine,which act as a primary neurotransmitter.


What is the function of norepinophine?

Norepinephrine is a catecholamine with multiple roles including as a hormone and a neurotransmitter.Areas of the body that produce or are affected by norepinephrine are described as noradrenergic. One of the most important functions of norepinephrine is its role as the neurotransmitter released from the sympathetic neurons affecting the heart. An increase in norepinephrine from the sympathetic nervous system increases the rate of contractions

Synaptic vesicles in the axon terminal of a motor neuron contain what neurotransmitter?

Synaptic vesicles store neurotransmitters to be released into the synapses. In the case of most motoneurons, this neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (ACh). The neurons that interface with the sympathetic nervous system, also technically motoneurons, release norepinephrine.


What is most likely to imitate calcium's role in the function of neurons?

Magnesium is most likely to imitate calcium's role in the function of neurons. Magnesium can affect synaptic plasticity and neurotransmitter release, similar to calcium.
