It is expressed in noradrenergic nerve terminals of the central and peripheral nervous systems, as well as in chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla.
22.
Doc2b enhances Ca ( 2 + )-dependent exocytosis in adipocytes, chromaffin cells of the adrenal gland and beta cells in the pancreas.
23.
Within this endocrine gland, pre-ganglionic neurons synapse with chromaffin cells, stimulating the chromaffin to release norepinephrine and epinephrine directly into the blood.
24.
In mast cells, this takes the form of histamine secretion, while in platelets and chromaffin cells release serotonin and catecholamines are found, respectively.
25.
Second, chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla are technically post-ganglionic, but receive stimulation via acetylcholine to release catecholamines such as epinephrine and norepinephrine.
26.
The chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla act as " modified neurons ", releasing adrenaline and noradrenaline into the bloodstream as hormones instead of as neurotransmitters.
27.
The sympathetic nervous system also has some preganglionic nerves terminating at the chromaffin cells in the adrenal medulla, which secrete epinephrine and norepinephrine into the bloodstream.
28.
Examples of cells producing chromogranin A ( ChgA ) are chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla, paraganglia, enterochromaffin-like cells and beta cells of the pancreas.
29.
When a distinction is made, the " aortic bodies " are chemoreceptors which regulate circulation, while the " paraaortic bodies " are the chromaffin cells which manufacture catecholamines.
30.
When a distinction is made, the " aortic bodies " are chemoreceptors which regulate Circulatory system, while the " paraaortic bodies " are the chromaffin cells which manufacture catecholamines.
