The neurotransmitters of postganglionic fibers differ: In the parasympathetic division, neurons are cholinergic (that is, acetylcholine is the primary neurotransmitter). In the sympathetic division, neurons are mostly adrenergic (that is, epinephrine andnorepinephrine function as the primary neurotransmitters).
