Question

Classify the following characteristics to demonstrate your knowledge of differences between the autonomic and somatic divisions of
the nervous system.
Neurons release acetylcholine that binds
to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors located
on the effector organs
Can lead to excitation or inhibition of the
Neurons are also called motor neurons
effectors
Receptors on effector organs are also
responsive to epinephrine that is released
into the blood by the adrenal medulla
Innervates smooth and cardiac muscle,
glands, and Gl neurons
Neurons release norepinephrine that
binds to adrenergic receptors located on
the effector organs
Has two-neuron chain between the CNS
Single neuron between the CNS and
effectors
Neurons release acetylcholine that binds
to muscarinic acetylcholine receptors
located on the effector organs
and effectors
Can lead only to excitation of the effectors
Activates skeletal muscles
Autonomic Nervous System
Somatic Nervous System

Expert Solution

Step 1

The nervous system is the central processing unit of the body. It has two main divisions- the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The PNS has further two divisions- the somatic and autonomic nervous systems. The autonomic nervous system further comprises the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
