    Cranial Nerves and Parasympathetic Nervous System

    • Cranial nerve I (Olfactory) does NOT have pre-ganglionic cell bodies for the parasympathetic nervous system.

    Pre-ganglionic Cell Bodies

    • Pre-ganglionic cell bodies for the parasympathetic nervous system are located in the CNS (Central Nervous System), specifically in the brainstem.

    Components of the Parasympathetic Nervous System

    • The pre-ganglionic component of the parasympathetic nervous system is longer than the post-ganglionic component.
