Postganglionic Nervous Research Paper

When substances like acetylcholine and norepinephrine are released in the body, they tend to bind to receptors, tissues and neurons. These neurotransmitters transfer signals throughout the nervous system and stimulates action potentials in the postganglionic neurons. Receptors found on the ANS and PNS includes the cholinergic receptors, which consists of all sympathetic and parasympathetic preganglionic, sympathetic postganglionic and all parasympathetic postganglionic neurons. The cholinergic receptors are found in the postsynaptic plasma membrane. The cholinergic receptors include two types- nicotinic and muscarinic receptors. Both of which are activated by acetylcholine. The nicotinic receptors are found in the postganglionic region of
