Neurotransmitters of the Autonomic Nervous System Acetyl choline (Parasympathetic??) Norepinephrine (Sympathetic??) Dopamine Where are they located? How are they synthesized? How are they released? What receptors do they stimulate/block and where? Can drugs modify their function? Are drugs selective for a single receptor located in one organ??? What mechanisms can a drug use to exert its action.
