Autonomic motor neurons regulate visceral activities by
1)increasing activities in effector tissue.
2)decreasing activities in effector tissue.
3)changing the direction of impulse conduction across synapses.
A)1 only
B)2 only
C)3 only
D)Both 1 and 2
E)None of these choices

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Autonomic motor neurons can increase or decrease activities in effector tissue based on the type of receptors present on the tissue. This is achieved through the release of neurotransmitters that bind to these receptors and initiate a response. Therefore, options 1 and 2 are correct. Option 3, changing the direction of impulse conduction across synapses, does not accurately describe the function of autonomic motor neurons.
