Answered

Most sympathetic effector junctions release norepinephrine but a significant number release acetylcholine instead. Which of these is an example of an organ of the cholinergic type?

A) the heart
B) a blood vessel in the skin
C) a sweat gland
D) the liver
E) the salivary glands



Answer :

(C) a sweat gland

SWEAT GLAND

  • A sweat gland is present on the skin in the form of small tubules.
  • Also known as sudoriferous or sudoriparous glands.
  • It is an exocrine gland.

WHAT IS CHOLINERGIC?

  • It is the term used for acetylcholine.
  • Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter, secreted by pre and post ganglions neurons.
  • There are two kinds of cholinergic receptors:

1. Nicotinic cholinergic receptors: both nicotine and acetylcholine can attach to these receptors.

2. Muscarinic cholinergic receptors:  both muscarinic and acetylcholine can attach to these receptors.

  • Hence, these receptors increase the signal transduction rate hence, the secretion of sweat is controlled.
