Sympathetic postganglionic fibers that release norepinephrine at neuroeffector synapses are classified as "adrenergic." This is because they use norepinephrine as their neurotransmitter. Cholinergic fibers release acetylcholine, not norepinephrine. Non-secretory is not a classification for postganglionic fibers.
