Study Notes
Norepinephrine Release
- Norepinephrine is released by adrenergic fibers.
- Adrenergic fibers are primarily sympathetic postganglionic neurons.
Sympathetic Division
- The sympathetic division contains the majority of adrenergic postganglionic neurons.
- Most adrenergic neurons are located in sympathetic ganglia positioned close to the spinal cord.
Neurotransmission
- Norepinephrine is the primary neurotransmitter released from sympathetic postganglionic neurons to effector cells.
- This neurotransmitter plays a crucial role in the fight-or-flight response, influencing various physiological functions.
