Study Notes
Autonomic Nervous System
- Preganglionic neurons of the autonomic nervous system are located in the central nervous system (CNS), specifically in the brainstem and spinal cord.
- The parasympathetic nervous system is the division of the autonomic nervous system that functions during 'rest and digest'.
- Preganglionic neurons of the sympathetic nervous system are located in the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spinal cord (T1-L2 or L3).
- Clusters of ganglionic sympathetic neurons that innervate organs in the abdominopelvic region are called prevertebral ganglia or collateral ganglia.
