Answer 1

Ans)1) Sympathetic division & Parasympathetic division.

Explaination:

• The autonomic nervous system consists of two major subdivisions
• Sympathetic division & Parasympathetic division

Sympathetic division
• Also called the thoracolumbar division
• Most active during times of stress, exertion, or
emergency
(For flight or fight)

Parasympathetic division
• Also called the craniosacral divisio
• Most active during resting conditions
(for rest and digest)

sympathetic vs parasympathetic:
Sympathetic: preganglonic axons are short, postganglonic are long, preganglonic release acetylcholine, release NE

Parasympathetic: preganglonic axons are long, postganglonic are short, preganglonic release acetylcholine, release ACH.

2) Sympathetic

Explaination:

- Sympathetic division
• Also called the thoracolumbar division
• Most active during times of stress, exertion, or
emergency (For flight or fight).

3) adrenergic drugs and adrenergic amines

Explaination:

Sympathomimetic drugs (also known as adrenergic drugs and adrenergic amines) are stimulant compounds which mimic the effects of endogenous agonists of the sympathetic nervous system.

4) epinephrine

Explaination:

- Catecholamines are hormones made by your adrenal glands, which are located on top of your kidneys. Examples include dopamine; norepinephrine; and epinephrine (this used to be called adrenalin or adrenaline). Your adrenal glands send catecholamines into your blood when you're physically or emotionally stressed.
