sympathetic fibres, postganglionic (medicine) and lumpfish (medicine)


sympathetic fibres, postganglionic (medicine)


sympathetic fibres, postganglionic
Nerve fibres which project from sympathetic ganglia to synapses on target organs. Sympathetic postganglionic fibres use norepinephrine as transmitter, except for those innervating eccrine sweat glands (and possibly some blood vessels) which use acetylcholine. They may also release peptide cotransmitters.


lumpfish (medicine)


lumpfish
<zoology> A large, thick, clumsy, marine fish (Cyclopterus lumpus) of Europe and America. The colour is usually translucent sea green, sometimes purplish. It has a dorsal row of spiny tubercles, and three rows on each side, but has no scales. The ventral fins unite and form a ventral sucker for adhesion to stones and seaweeds.

Synonym: lumpsucker, cock-paddle, sea owl.

Origin: From Lump, on account of its bulkiness: cf. G. & D. Lump, F. Lompe.
