Question
Chapter 15.3, Problem 1AYLO
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
The reason why the autonomic effect on a target cell depends on both the neurotransmitter released and the type of receptor on the target cell.
Introduction:
Autonomic nervous system regulates the involuntary physiological functions in the body. It consists of sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. Both these systems innervate the target organs based on the sensory stimuli externally and internally. Their innervation and passage of sensory impulses takes place by means of neurotransmitters, a chemical messenger and its respective receptor site on the organ. This has been explained below:

At __________ synapses, neurotransmitters hyperpolarize the membrane, by making it more permeable to K+ or moving membrane potential away from threshold (hyperpolarizing), and making generation of an action potential less likely; these are inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs).
True or false: Gasotransmitters, such as NO, break many of the "rules" of neurotransmission, but they interact with receptors embedded in membranes in very typical fashion.
