| Sumario: | Autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulates the physiologic process in the body and has essential role in the systems such as blood pressure regulation, respiration, heart rate, and sexual arousal. ANS is divided into the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system and regulates whole organism functions in the body. Although the main neurotransmitters in the ANS are norephinephrine, epinephrine, and acetilcholine, many other different agents and chemicals play an important role of the neurotransmitters function. These molecules act on many different receptors and sides. This chapter provides a detailed evaluation of neurotransmitters, related molecules, their receptors and how they function to maintain autonomic functions in both the central and peripheral parts of the systems. |
