A small-diameter, myelinated type B neuron that terminates in an autonomic ganglion is a(n)
preganglionic neuron.
The first of two motor neurons in any autonomic motor pathway is called
preganglionic neuron
Which of the following responses is initiated by the sympathetic nervous system?
splitting glycogen to glucose by the liver
Because the principal active ingredient in tobacco is nicotine, you might expect smoking to enhance the effects of
acetylcholine on any postganglionic neurons.
Which of the following is stimulated by the parasympathetic nervous system?
erection of the penis
Muscarinic receptors are
found on all effectors innervated by the parasympathetic postganglionic axons
Alpha and beta receptors are associated with
sympathetic neurons.
Autonomic nervous system motor output continues to the spinal cord through relays in the
reticular formation.
Acetylcholine is inactivated by the enzyme
esterase
Autonomic dysreflexia is characterized by
A) pounding headache.
B) hyptertension.
C) flushed, warm skin with profuse sweating about injury level.
D) anxiety.
To say that most organs served by the ANS have “dual innervation” means that
the organs are innervated by both sympathetic and parasympathetic neurons
