Acetylcholine

Acetylcholine (ACh) is an organic compound that functions in the brain and body of many types of animals (including humans) as a neurotransmitter.

See Postganglionic nerve fibers and Acetylcholine

Adrenal gland

The adrenal glands (also known as suprarenal glands) are endocrine glands that produce a variety of hormones including adrenaline and the steroids aldosterone and cortisol.

See Postganglionic nerve fibers and Adrenal gland

Adrenaline

Adrenaline, also known as epinephrine, is a hormone and medication which is involved in regulating visceral functions (e.g., respiration).

See Postganglionic nerve fibers and Adrenaline

Adrenergic

Adrenergic means "working on adrenaline (epinephrine) or noradrenaline (norepinephrine)" (or on their receptors).

See Postganglionic nerve fibers and Adrenergic

Arrector pili muscle

The arrector pili muscles, also known as hair erector muscles, are small muscles attached to hair follicles in mammals.

See Postganglionic nerve fibers and Arrector pili muscle

Autonomic nervous system

The autonomic nervous system (ANS), sometimes called the visceral nervous system and formerly the vegetative nervous system, is a division of the nervous system that operates internal organs, smooth muscle and glands.

See Postganglionic nerve fibers and Autonomic nervous system

Axon

An axon (from Greek ἄξων áxōn, axis) or nerve fiber (or nerve fibre: see spelling differences) is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, in vertebrates, that typically conducts electrical impulses known as action potentials away from the nerve cell body.

See Postganglionic nerve fibers and Axon

Cholinergic

Cholinergic agents are compounds which mimic the action of acetylcholine and/or butyrylcholine.

See Postganglionic nerve fibers and Cholinergic

Ganglion

A ganglion (ganglia) is a group of neuron cell bodies in the peripheral nervous system.

See Postganglionic nerve fibers and Ganglion

Lateral grey column

The lateral grey column (lateral column, lateral cornu, lateral horn of spinal cord, intermediolateral column) is one of the three grey columns of the spinal cord (which give the shape of a butterfly); the others being the anterior and posterior grey columns.

See Postganglionic nerve fibers and Lateral grey column

Neurotransmitter

A neurotransmitter is a signaling molecule secreted by a neuron to affect another cell across a synapse.

See Postganglionic nerve fibers and Neurotransmitter

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, or nAChRs, are receptor polypeptides that respond to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.

See Postganglionic nerve fibers and Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor

Norepinephrine

Norepinephrine (NE), also called noradrenaline (NA) or noradrenalin, is an organic chemical in the catecholamine family that functions in the brain and body as a hormone, neurotransmitter and neuromodulator.

See Postganglionic nerve fibers and Norepinephrine

Parasympathetic nervous system

The parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS) is one of the three divisions of the autonomic nervous system, the others being the sympathetic nervous system and the enteric nervous system. Postganglionic nerve fibers and parasympathetic nervous system are autonomic nervous system.

See Postganglionic nerve fibers and Parasympathetic nervous system

Preganglionic nerve fibers

In the autonomic nervous system, nerve fibers from the central nervous system to the ganglion are known as preganglionic nerve fibers. Postganglionic nerve fibers and preganglionic nerve fibers are autonomic nervous system.

See Postganglionic nerve fibers and Preganglionic nerve fibers

Rexed laminae

The Rexed laminae (singular: Rexed lamina) comprise a system of ten layers of grey matter (I–X), identified in the early 1950s by Bror Rexed to label portions of the grey columns of the spinal cord.

See Postganglionic nerve fibers and Rexed laminae

Splanchnic nerves

The splanchnic nerves are paired visceral nerves (nerves that contribute to the innervation of the internal organs), carrying fibers of the autonomic nervous system (visceral efferent fibers) as well as sensory fibers from the organs (visceral afferent fibers). Postganglionic nerve fibers and splanchnic nerves are autonomic nervous system.

See Postganglionic nerve fibers and Splanchnic nerves

Sweat gland

Sweat glands, also known as sudoriferous or sudoriparous glands,, are small tubular structures of the skin that produce sweat.

See Postganglionic nerve fibers and Sweat gland

Sympathetic nervous system

The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is one of the three divisions of the autonomic nervous system, the others being the parasympathetic nervous system and the enteric nervous system. Postganglionic nerve fibers and sympathetic nervous system are autonomic nervous system.

See Postganglionic nerve fibers and Sympathetic nervous system

Terminal cisternae

Terminal cisternae (singular: terminal cisterna) are enlarged areas of the sarcoplasmic reticulum surrounding the transverse tubules.

See Postganglionic nerve fibers and Terminal cisternae
