After reading this article we will learn about the synthesis of Acetylcholine (Ach). Acetylcholine (Ach) is the neurotransmitter at parasympathetic neuro-effector junctions, all autonomic ganglia, adrenal medulla, somatic neuromuscular junctions, and CNS. Synthesis, Storage and Release of Ach: Ach is synthesized in the cholinergic nerve endings. After a reaction among acetate, coenzyme A and ATP, acetyl CoA is formed within [...]
Get the answer of: What are Adrenergic Drugs? These are the drugs that mimic the actions of the sympathetic nervous system. Their effects are mediated by the adrenergic receptors on the effector cells, hence these are also called as adrenergic drugs. Classification of Adrenergic Drugs: (A) On the Basis of Mechanism of Action: Direct acting drugs act directly on adrenergic [...]
This article will help you to differentiate between autonomic and somatic efferent pathways. Difference # Autonomic: 1. Two neurons (pre and postganglionic) are arranged in series to supply smooth muscles and glands. 2. The autonomic nerves contain peripheral ganglia. 3. Preganglionic nerves are myelinated and postganglionic nerves are non-myelinated. 4. Some level of spontaneous activity of an organ is maintained [...]
