Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alpha and beta receptors are both activated by the neurotransmitter norepinephrine, which is released by the sympathetic nervous system. They are not associated with the parasympathetic nervous system or craniosacral outflow, and while they are located on the paravertebral ganglia, this alone is not a defining characteristic.
