Neither
What part of the autonomic nervous system in which the axon of the postganglionic neuron is myelinated?

Sympathetic Nervous System
Parasympathetic Nervous System
Where do preganglionic nerve release acytlcholine from its terminal endings?
Parasympathetic Nervous System
Where would you find physiologic effects that include slowing of the heart rate an increase in secretions from mouth, GI, and GU tract

What are the cranial nerve nuclei that are associated with the parasympathetic nervous system?
Parasympathetic
The portion of the autonomic nervous system that is associated with a decrease in heart rate is what?
Postganglionic nerve endings in the Sympathetic System
What site is Acetylcholine not the neurotransmitter?
Preganglionic nerve endings in the sympathetic system
Preganglionic nerve endings in the parasympathetic system
Postganglionic nerve endings in the parasympathetic system
What site is Acetylcholine the neurotransmitter?
Parasympathetic

Sympathetic
What portion of the autonomic nervous system has cell bodies in the lateral horn of the thoracic and upper lumbar gray matter?
Blood flow to skeletal muscles increase
When the sympathetic nervous system is dominant what happens to the skeletal muscles?
Parasympathetic
The branch of the autonomic nervous system that is associated with nerve fibers from the cranial nerve nuclei and the 2nd to 4th sacral gray matter is what?
No
Do all parts of the body have both sympathetic and parasympathetic innervations?
Parasympathetic Nervous System
The portion of the autonomic nervous system that is most involved in baseline homeostasis is what?
Sympathetic Nervous System
The portion of the autonomic nervous system which has the first synapse between preganglionic and postganglionic nerve cells in the ganglionic chain located that runs parallel with the vertebral column is what?
ACH releasing fibers
Cholinergic fibers are what?
NE
Adrenergic fibers are most sympathetic postganglionic axons that release what?
They are ACH releasing fibers
What is the exception in the sympathetic postganglionic fibers innervating sweat glands and some blood vessels in the skeletal muscles?
The sarcolema of skeletal muscles at neuromuscular junctions
All ganglionic neurons, both sympathetic and parasympathetic
hormone-producing cells of the adrenal medulla
Nicotinic receptors are found where?
Stimulatory
What is the effect of ACH binding to nicotinic receptors anywhere is?
All parasympathetic target organs and a few sympathetic targets, such as eccrine sweat glands and some blood vessels of skeletal muscles
Muscarinic receptors occur on all effector cells stimulated by postganglionic cholinergic fibers which is what?
Can be inhibitory or stimulatory
What is the effect of ACH binding to muscarinic receptors?
