Document Summary

Tropic hormones will stimulate to alter other hormones. These hormones are transported through the blood bound to plasma proteins. Protein based hormones, usually transcribed from genes, made in inactive form, ex: insulin. Postganglionic neurons in the sympathetic division are activated by ____ receptors. Postganglionic neurons are different in sympathetic than preganglionic. All preganglionic neurons in sympathetic release acetylcholine so postganglionic neurons have to have receptors for acetylcholine aka. Extrafusal = muscle you think of that shortens to produce movement and force.
