| Name: | sympathetic nervous system |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | |
| Definition: | Autonomic nervous system that originates beginning at the thoracic and lumbar areas of the spinal cord. Sympathetic neurons are primarily adrenergic producing the neurotransmitter noradrenalin along with other neuropeptides. |
| Ontology: | Anatomy Ontology [ZFA:0001576] |
| Name: | has fewer parts of type |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | decreased number of, has decreased number of, has fewer physical parts of type |
| Definition: | The bearer of this quality has_part < n AND has_part > 0 of the indicated entity type, where n is the normal amount for a comparable organism. Note that the bearer of the quality is the whole, not the part. Formally: If a bearer entity e has fewer parts of type X at time t, then the number of instances x of X at t such that x part_of e is < n, where n is either the normal number for comparable entities, or n is stated explicitly. |

| Name: | norepinephrine secreting cell |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | noradrenergic cell, norepinephrin secreting cells |
| Definition: | A cell capable of producting norepinephrine. Norepinephrine is a catecholamine with multiple roles including as a hormone and a neurotransmitter. In addition, epinephrine is synthesized from norepinephrine by the actions of the phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase enzyme. |
