Presynaptic nerve terminal
Consist of afferent/sensory and efferent/motor
Peripheral nervous system
All preglanglionic are ___________________
Acetylcholine
Neurons towards the affected organ. This is where our medicines take effect.
Synaptic transmission
In step 5, which is the termination of synaptic transmission, we terminate in 3 ways:
5a reuptake
5b enzymatic degradation
5c the fusion away
It has a shorter preglanglion but longer postglanglion
Sympathetic Nervous System
It has a longer preglanglion
Parasympathetic Nervous System
If a person is always anxious or agitated even if nothing is going on, he or she mostly works on which tone?
Sympathetic tone
What does your body need in order for it to dominate even just a bit to the Parasympathetic tone?
