Cholinergic neurons release ________ while adrenergic release __________.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The statement concerns the classic neurotransmitter vocabulary for autonomic neurons. Cholinergic neurons are those that release acetylcholine as their primary neurotransmitter. Conversely, adrenergic neurons release norepinephrine (noradrenaline) as their main transmitter.

In the autonomic nervous system, this distinction is key: parasympathetic postganglionic neurons are typically cholinergic and release acetylcholine to affect target organs. Sympathetic postganglionic neurons are typically adrenergic and release norepinephrine, though there are notable exceptions (such as sympathetic innervation of sweat glands, where acetylcholine is released).

Since no alternative answer options were provided to evaluate against, the correct pairing described here is acetylcholine for cholinergic neurons and noradrenaline (norepinephrine) for adrenergic neurons, which aligns with standard neurophysiology terminology.

If there were distractors, they would likely involve substituting the transmitter (e.g., acetylcholine vs dopamine vs serotonin) or switching the transmitter for the wrong division (e.g., adrenergic neurons releasing acetylcholine), which would be inaccurate given established autonomic pharmacology.
