    The document compares and contrasts six pairs of terms related to the autonomic nervous system in the human body. It discusses the differences between the autonomic and peripheral nervous systems, cholinergic and adrenergic receptors, muscarinic and nicotinic receptors, alpha and beta receptors, acetylcholine and norepinephrine, and the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. For each pair, it provides a concise 2-3 sentence explanation of the key differences between the terms.

    Compare and contrast the following pair of terms in 2-3 sentences per item:

    1. Autonomic vs. Peripheral nervous system


    — The nervous system is made up of nerves and neurons that transmit signals
    between different parts of the body. They are the two main parts of the
    nervous system that connects with each other. Autonomic nervous system
    (ANS) is the one that acts or occurs involuntarily, while the peripheral
    nervous system (PNS) consists of the nerves and ganglia outside of the
    brain and spinal cord.

    2. Cholinergic vs. Adrenergic receptors


    — Cholinergic and Adrenergic receptors are part of the Autonomous Nervous
    System of our body. Cholinergic receptors are inotropic and metabotropic,
    uses acetylcholine(ACh, and the pathway is in charge of the digest and rest
    response. On the other hand, Adrenergic receptors are G-protein bound
    receptors and the pathway is responsible for the fight or flight response by
    releasing the catecholamines adrenalin from the adrenal gland.

    3. Muscarinic vs. Nicotinic receptors


    — Muscarinic and Nicotinic receptors are the types of Acetylcholine receptors
    that are named after agonists muscarine and nicotine, and both transmits
    signals. Muscarinic is the type being G-protein coupled receptors that
    mediate a slow metabolic response via second messenger cascades, while
    Nicotinic are ligand-gated ion channels that mediate a fast synaptic
    transmission of the neurotransmitter.

    4. Alpha vs. Beta receptors


    — Alpha and Beta receptors are the two main types of Adrenergic receptors.
    Both helps regulate the fight and flight response when we are exposed to
    certain stressors. Alpha receptors involves mostly in the stimulation of
    effector cells and constriction of blood vessels, while Beta receptors
    involves in the relaxation of effector cells and dilation of blood vessels.

    5. Acetylcholine vs. Norepinephrine


    — They are both primary neurotransmitters secreted by the autonomic nerves
    innervating smooth muscle but they are never secreted by the same nerve
    fibers. Acetylcholine is released by the postganglionic parasympathetic
    fibers, while Norepinephrine is released mainly by the postganglionic fibers

    DENT 3F M3 Lesson 3 Check-in Activity Dr. Agnes Magnaye
    of the sympathetic division. When acetylcholine excites a muscle fiber,
    norepinephrine ordinarily inhibits it and vice versa.

    6. Sympathetic vs. Parasympathetic nervous system


    — Both nervous system are part of the Autonomic Nervous System, originates
    from the spinal and have huge influence on physiological process of the
    body such as respiration, circulation, urination, digestion, and
    reproduction. The sympathetic nervous system prepares the body for “fight
    or flight,” whereas the parasympathetic nervous system allows the body to
    “rest and digest.” It also differs by the former, which prepares the body for
    intense physical activity, and the latter, which relaxes the body and inhibits
    or slows many high-energy functions.
