Question

for the following descriptive term(s) regarding an aspect of the ans:
possesses adrenergic receptors at the target organ
select whether it is unique to the parasympathetic or sympathetic systems or belongs to both.
○ sympathetic
○ both parasympathetic and sympathetic
○ parasympathetic

Explanation:

Adrenergic receptors are activated by norepinephrine (and epinephrine), which is the neurotransmitter of the sympathetic nervous system's post - ganglionic fibers. The parasympathetic nervous system uses acetylcholine as its main neurotransmitter at target organs and does not have adrenergic receptors at target organs. So the feature of possessing adrenergic receptors at the target organ is unique to the sympathetic system.

Answer:

A. sympathetic
