Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Noradrenergic neurons are the specific neurons that synthesize and release norepinephrine (also known as noradrenaline). Option A (metabotropic) refers to a type of receptor, not a type of neuron. Option B (norepinephrine) is the molecule being synthesized and released, not the neuron itself. Option C (adrenoceptor) refers to a type of receptor for certain neurotransmitters, including norepinephrine, not the neuron itself.
