Here's a question from 1001 EK Bio
671. While deriving his 3rd law, Starling needed to increase cardiac heart rate and may have used which of the following mechanisms to do so?
I. acetycholine
II. norepinephrine
III. epinephrine
A. I only
B. II only
C. II and III only
D. I, II, and III
Answer: C
I picked D because I was under the impression that sympathetic first uses ACh in preganglionic, and then uses NEp/Ep in postganglionic, so any of the three seem to be able to work. Why is this wrong?
