124: 116: 222:, where chromaffin cells function as modified post-ganglionic nerves. Instead of releasing epinephrine and norepinephrine into a synaptic cleft, these cells of the adrenal medulla release the catecholamines into the blood stream as hormones. Like other components of the sympathetic nervous system, all of these exceptions are still stimulated by cholinergic preganglionic fibers. 42: 91: 360: 79: 301: 1179: 326: 230: 984: 914: 98: 979: 909: 524: 182: 599: 86: 594: 582: 353: 572: 629: 206:
