Study Notes
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.
Test your knowledge of the parasympathetic nervous system with this quiz! Explore the craniosacral division, the location of pre-ganglionic cell bodies, and the length of axons in different regions. Challenge yourself and enhance your understanding of this important aspect of the autonomic nervous system.
