Terms Related to Postganglionic Sympathetic Fiber

• Postganglionic Parasympathetic Fiber

  Nerve fibers which project from parasympathetic ganglia to synapses on target organs. Parasympathetic postganglionic fibers use acetylcholine as transmitter. They may also release peptide cotransmitters.

• B Fiber

  Nerve fibers which project from the central nervous system to autonomic ganglia. In the sympathetic division most preganglionic fibers originate with neurons in the intermediolateral ...

• Postganglionic Autonomic Fiber

  Nerve fibers which project from cell bodies of autonomic ganglia to synapses on target organs.

• Norepinephrine

  Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the adrenal medulla and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most ...

• Autonomic Ganglia

  Clusters of neurons and their processes in the autonomic nervous system. In the autonomic ganglia, the preganglionic fibers from the central nervous system synapse onto ...

• Arterenol

  Precursor of epinephrine that is secreted by the adrenal medulla and is a widespread central and autonomic neurotransmitter. Norepinephrine is the principal transmitter of most ...

• Autonomic Ganglion

  Clusters of neurons and their processes in the autonomic nervous system. In the autonomic ganglia, the preganglionic fibers from the central nervous system synapse onto ...
