Term
major autonomic receptors
Definition
Nn - micotinic receptors on cell bodies in ganglia of both PNS and ANS and in the adrenal medulla

Nm - nicotinic receptors on skeletal muscle motor end plate innervated by somatic motor nerves

M1-3 - muscarinic receptors located on all organs and tissues innervated by postganglionic nerves of PNS and on thermoregulatory sweat glands innervated by SNS
Term
sympathetic NS ganglia
Definition
ganglia lie in two paraventral chains adjacent to the vertebral column

ACh-->Nn receptors
Term
parasympathetic NS ganglia
Definition
ganglia are located near the organs they innervate

preganglionic neuron: ACh-->Nn receptor in effector organ
Term
acetylcholine
Definition
NT that actson are both nicotinic and muscarinic receptors in tissues that are innervated

all direct transmission from the CNS (preganglionic and motor) use ACh
Term
postganglionic NTransmission
Definition
PNS uses ACh

ANS uses ACh, NE, or Epi
Term
miosis
Definition
contraction of sphincter muscle causes pupillary constriction (miosis) in response to muscarinic stimulation

contraction of ciliary muscle causes accommodation for near vision
Term
muscarinic antagonism in the eye
Definition
mydriasis (pupil dilation)
