Study Notes
Sympathetic Nervous System
- Adrenergic receptors are found in the sympathetic nervous system.
Neurotransmitters
- Adrenergic neurons primarily release the neurotransmitter norepinephrine.
Adrenoceptors
- The rank order of potency for α-adrenoceptors is α1 > α2.
Pharmacology
- Sympatholytic drugs are said to block the sympathetic nervous system.
Neurotransmission
- The primary neurotransmitter released by adrenergic neurons is norepinephrine.
