Briefly compare autonomic neurons to somatic motor neurons in terms of types of effectors, number of neurons forming the pathway, speed of conduction along fibers, and neurotransmitters released. Compare and contrast the basic details of sympathetic pathways to different body regions and the details of parasympathetic pathways to the same regions (especially the length of the pre-synaptic and post-synaptic fibers and relative locations of the ganglia).

Discuss the difference between pre and postganglionic neurons of the sympathetic system
Describe the sympathetic response in a frightening situationfor each of the following body parts: hair follicles, iris of eye,lungs, spleen, adrenal medullae, urinary bladder, stomach,intestines, gallbladder, liver, heart, arterioles of the abdominalviscera, and arterioles of skeletal muscles.
Discuss the functions of the sympathetic system
Which of the following statements best explains the effect of release of neurotransmitter at a parasympathetic ganglion. Release of noradrenaline at a parasympathetic ganglion causes nicotinic acetylcholine receptor activation in the post-ganglionic neuron. Release of acetylcholine at a parasympathetic ganglion causes nicotinic acetylcholine receptor activation in the post-ganglionic neuron. Release of acetylcholine at a parasympathetic ganglion causes muscarinic acetylcholine receptor activation in the post-ganglionic neuron. Release of neurotransmitter at a parasympathetic ganglion leads to decreased generation and release of the NANC transmitter, nitric oxide.
