Sympathetic reflexes – what neurotransmitter is used on the effector, the heart?
Effector
Preganglionic Postganglionic

Effector
Preganglionic Postganglionic
Cholinergic – means the postganglionic neuron releases acetylcholine. Which system is cholinergic – the sympathetic or the parasympathetic?
Adrenergic – means the postganglionic neuron releases norepinephrine. Which system is cholinergic – the sympathetic or the parasympathetic?
Which system controls secretion by the adrenal medulla – the sympathetic or the parasympathetic? What two hormones are released by the adrenal medulla?
