3. Adrenergic receptors
4. Nicotinic receptors
5. Innervates smooth muscles in arterioles
6. Muscarinic receptors
7. Innervates skeletal muscle
8. Decreased atrial contractility
9. Mydriasis
10. Acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Innervates the kidneys: sympathetic

2. Long cholinergic preganglionic fibers: Both sympathetic and parasympathetic

3. Adrenergic receptors: both sympathetic and parasympathetic

4. Nicotinic receptors: Both sympathetic and parasympathetic

5. Innervates smooth muscles in arterioles: both sympathetic and parasympathetic

6. Muscarinic receptors: Both sympathetic and parasympathetic

7. Innervates skeletal muscle: sympathetic

8. Decreased atrial contractility: parasympathetic

9. Mydriasis: parasympathetic

10. Acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter: Both sympathetic and parasympathetic
