Article topic: Autonomic Nervous System Author: Ayah Bani Mustafa Editor: Yazan S. Al-Zamer, Ethar Hazaimeh. Keywords: Autonomic, Sympathetic, Parasympathetic, Enteric Nervous System Overview The nervous system is divided into the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system; the latter is also divided into the afferent and efferent nervous system, the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a part of the efferent system. The autonomic nervous system transmits electrical impulses through nerve fibers that terminate at effector cells (most body organs), exerting a variety of effects specific to different organs. The autonomic outputs may be divided into the sympathetic, parasympathetic, or enteric […]

Adrenergic receptors are the receptors that  the adrenergic drugs get attached to. These receptors are classified into alpha-1, alpha-2, beta-1, beta-2, and beta-3. They are all G-coupled receptors. Moreover, adrenergic drugs are often referred to as sympathomimetics which means mediating a sympathetic nervous system effect-like. There are many types of […]
