The autonomic motor nervous system

These are nerves which carry messages from the CNS to the skeletal muscles. There are no synapses (junctions) en route and the neurotransmitter at the neuromuscular junction is acetylcholine. The final result of such messages is contraction of skeletal muscle. [Pg.207]

These nerves carry messages from the CNS to smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and the adrenal medulla. This system can be divided into two subgroups. [Pg.207]

These leave the CNS, travel some distance, then synapse with a second nerve which then proceeds to the final synapse with smooth muscle. The neurotransmitter at both synapses is acetylcholine. [Pg.207]

The only exception to this are the nerves which go directly to the adrenal medulla. The neurotransmitter released here is noradrenaline and this stimulates the adrenal medulla to release the hormone adrenaline. This hormone then circulates in the blood system and interacts with noradrenaline receptors as well as other adrenaline receptors not directly fed with nerves. [Pg.208]
