Question

1. if the neuron secretes acetylcholine, it is a(n) ____ neuron. 2. if the neuron secretes epinephrine, it is a(n) ____ neuron. (click to select) options: nicotinic, cholinergic, muscarinic, adrenergic

Explanation:

Question 1

Neurons that secrete acetylcholine are called cholinergic neurons. Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter associated with cholinergic neurons. Nicotinic and muscarinic are types of receptors for acetylcholine, not the neuron type.

Neurons that secrete epinephrine (or related catecholamines like norepinephrine) are adrenergic neurons. Epinephrine is a key neurotransmitter/hormone for adrenergic signaling.

Answer:

cholinergic
