Question
Chapter 14.3, Problem 5QC
Summary Introduction
To review:
The cells that contain nicotinic receptors and muscarinic receptors.
Introduction:
The parasympathetic nervous system has two types of neurons, preganglionic neurons and postganglionic neurons. Preganglionic neurons are long and their cell bodiesare present in the central nervous system. Postganglionic neurons are short and their cell bodiesare present in the ganglia.
