Chapter 17, Problem 5RC
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason for the long-lasting effects of epinephrine and norepinephrine released by the adrenal glands as a hormone compared to when released as a neurotransmitter at the neuroeffector junctions.
Introduction:
Epinephrine and norepinephrine are basically hormones and released into the bloodstream from the adrenal medulla. They also function as neurotransmitters when released from the central nervous system (CNS). Their role is to fight response to stress.

Nerve fibers that secrete norepinephrine are called _____ fibers?
A patient has been exposed to the organophosphate pesticide malathion,which inactivates acetylcholinesterase. Which of the following symptoms would you predict: blurring of vision, excess tear formation, frequent or involuntary urination, pallor (pale skin), muscle twitching, orcramps? Would atropine be an effective drug to treat the symptoms?(See Clinical Impact 16.2 for the action of atropine.) Explain.
Most tissues regulated by the autonomic nervous system receive both sympathetic and parasympathetic input from postganglionic neurons. Responses are typically local. In contrast, the adrenal medulla receives input only from the sympathetic division and only from preganglionic neurons, yet responses are observed throughout the body. Explain why.
