1. The postganglionic neurons in the sympathetic nervous system release norepinephrine at their synapses.
2. Damage to postganglionic fibers can result in impaired autonomic function.
3. The postganglionic axons of the parasympathetic nervous system synapse in close proximity to their target organs.
4. Postganglionic neurotransmitters can have either excitatory or inhibitory effects on target cells.
5. The postganglionic fibers of the vagus nerve innervate the heart, lungs, and digestive organs.
6. Postganglionic neurons of the sympathetic nervous system are located in the autonomic ganglia.
7. Stimulation of postganglionic fibers in the sympathetic nervous system can result in the fight or flight response.
8. Postganglionic fibers of the parasympathetic nervous system release acetylcholine at their synapses.
9. Dysfunction of postganglionic neurons can lead to disorders of the autonomic nervous system.
10. The postganglionic branches of the sympathetic nervous system extend to various organs throughout the body.
