| Acetylcholine (ACh) | Excitatory or inhibitory; involved in memory |
| Function of the brainstrem | performs sensory, motor, and reflex functions. |
| Function of cerebellum | planning and coordination of skeletal muscle activity and maintaining balance in the body. |
| autonomic neurotransmitters | Norepinephrine and acetylcholine |
| Norepinephrine receptors | Andrenergic receptors: 1.Alpha receptors on smooth muscles of blood vessels- vasoconstriction 2.Beta receptors on smooth muscles of blood vessels- vasodilation. BUT beta receptors on cardiac muscles will cause stronger/faster heart beat |
| Acetylcholine receptors | cholinergic receptors 1.Muscarinic 2. Nicotinic |
| GERD | the backward flow of stomach acid up through the LES and into the lower part of the esophagus. |
| functions of liver | Detoxification, secretion of bile, storage of substances, hematopoiesis site for fetus |
