Question
Chapter 18, Problem 10WYL
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The ways by which the sympathetic axons stimulate many effector organs simultaneously.
Introduction:
The sympathetic division is much more complex than the parasympathetic division. The sympathetic preganglionic neuron originates from the lateral horn of the T1-L2 segments of the spinal cord.

Students have asked these similar questions
What are neurotransmitters ? Why are they used ?
Compare the primary mechanisms used by the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions to clear or remove neurotransmitters? In other words, how do they terminate their neurotransmitter activity? How do they differ from each other?
Question #2
Barbra Streisand, age 79, has asthma. We are considering an adrenergic drug for treatment. For Ms. Streisand, what are the drug advantages and diadvantages associciated with the use of
ephedrine
isoproterenol
metaproterenol
albuterol
terbutaline
Would her age be a factor in selecting the best drug? Explain.
Question #3
Steven Seagal, age 69, has hypertension and asthma. We are considering treating him with an adrenergic blocker. What are the advantages and disadvantages for each of the drugs below to treat high blood pressure?
doxazosin
prazosin
propranolol
metoprolol
atenolol
acebutolol
What needs to be included when teaching individuals suffering from high blood pressure about the use of an adrenergic blocker?
How can the sympathetic axons stimulate so many effectororgans simultaneously?
