Questions and Answers

Acetylcholine (ACh) is the neurotransmitter in the preganglionic sympathetic and parasympathetic neurons, as well as at the adrenal medulla and all parasympathetic-innervated organs.

True (A)

Cholinergic neurotransmission involves the formation and inactivation of ACh at the cholinergic synapse.

True (A)

ACh is not the neurotransmitter at the sweat glands and at the piloerector muscle of the sympathetic ANS.

False (B)

Cholinergic transmission involves only the parasympathetic nervous system.

Flashcards

Acetylcholine (ACh) role

ACh is the neurotransmitter in preganglionic neurons of both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. It's also involved in the adrenal medulla and all parasympathetically-innervated organs.

Cholinergic neurotransmission

The process of ACh being used and deactivated at the cholinergic synapse.

Sweat glands and piloerector muscles

These structures in the sympathetic nervous system are not controlled by ACh, indicating a different neurotransmitter is at play.

Cholinergic transmission and the nervous system

Cholinergic transmission is not limited to the parasympathetic nervous system. It also occurs in the sympathetic nervous system.
