Descriptor English: Sympathetic Fibers, Postganglionic
Descriptor Spanish: Fibras Simpáticas Posganglionares
Descriptor fibras simpáticas posganglionares
Entry term(s) fibras simpáticas postganglionares
Scope note: Fibras nerviosas que se proyectan desde los ganglios simpáticos hasta la sinapsis en los órganos diana. Las fibras simpáticas posganglionares utilizan la norepinefrina como transmisor, excepto aquellas que inervan las glándulas sudoríparas ecrinas (y posiblemente algunos vasos sanguíneos) que utilizan acetilcolina. Es posible que también liberen péptidos cotransmisores.

Scope note: Nerve fibers which project from sympathetic ganglia to synapses on target organs. Sympathetic postganglionic fibers use norepinephrine as transmitter, except for those innervating eccrine sweat glands (and possibly some blood vessels) which use acetylcholine. They may also release peptide cotransmitters.
