Transcribed Image Text: Catecholamines are neurotransmitters that are produced in the adrenal glands and are released during a stress response. Some typical effects are increased heart rate, increased blood glucose levels and elevated blood pressure. Examples
include dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine.
Reserpine is a drug that can control high blood pressure by reducing the number of catecholamine neurotransmitters present in the synapse. Which of the following rows correctly identifies the effect of reserpine in the synapse and the division of
the nervous system it affects?
Select one:
а.
Effect in the Synapse
Division of the Nervous System
Keeps catecholamines longer
in the synapse
Sympathetic nervous system
b.
Effect in the Synapse
Division of the Nervous System
Inhibits release of catecholamines from the presynaptic neuron Sympathetic nervous system
С.
Effect in the Synapse
Division of the Nervous System
Inhibits release of catecholamines from presynaptic neuron Parasympathetic nervous system
d.
Effect in the Synapse
Division of the Nervous System
Keeps catecholamines longer
in the synapse
Parasympathetic nervous system
