-Stimulated by the release of norepinephrine from the post-ganglionic neurons.

# data[].attributes.body
Nicotinic receptors stimulate parasympathetic post-ganglionic neurons to release their chemicals.
There are two types of nicotinic receptors: nicotinic-nerve and nicotinic-muscle.
-Nicotinic-nerve receptors are located at the parasympathetic and sympathetic ganglia. Stimulated by the release of acetylcholine from pre-ganglionic nerve endings to conduct impulses across the autonomic ganglia to the post-ganglionic fibers.
-Nicotinic-muscle receptors are located on the cell membranes of skeletal muscle. Stimulated by the release of acetylcholine from somatic nerve endings to contract skeletal muscle.

# data[].attributes.body
Muscarinic receptors are cholinergic receptors that cause an increase in secretion.
-located on the cell membranes of the visceral organs and glands and are stimulated by acetylcholine supplied by parasympathetic fibers.

In the PNS, acetylcholine is released at the ganglia. The difference between the PNS and the SNS is that acetylcholine is released at the post-panglionic nerve endings as well.

Neurotransmitters involved in the Parasympathetic Nervous System

# data[].attributes.body
During the rest-and-digest response, acetylcholine is released. This neurotransmitter is released at the ganglia and post-ganglionic nerve endings in the PNS.

Neurotransmitters involved in the Sympathetic Nervous System

# data[].attributes.subject
Neurotransmitters involved in the Sympathetic Nervous System

# data[].attributes.body
Once your "flight-or-fight" reaction has occurred, the adrenal medulla will release chemicals utilized in the communication of a message from one cell to another, also known as neurotransmitters. The neurotransmitters involved in the SNS include epinephrine and some norepinephrine into the blood. Once released into the bloodstream, epinephrine and norepinephrine are released at an effector site acting as hormones.

Two Divisions of the Autonomic Nervous System

# data[].attributes.subject
Two Divisions of the Autonomic Nervous System

# data[].attributes.body
The ANS is composed of two divisions, the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.

# data[].attributes.body
The sympathetic nervous system, also known as the thoracolumbar division, originates in the spinal, thoracic and lumbar spinal cord.

# data[].attributes.body
The primary function of the SNS is to activate the "fight-or-flight" response in frightening or emergency situations.

# data[].attributes.body
The parasympathetic nervous system, also known as the craniosacral division, originates from the brain and spinal cord.

# data[].attributes.body
The main function of the PNS is to control the body's response while at rest. In this phase, the PNS controls the body's ability to relax. This stage is also referred to as the "rest and digest" state.
