Question
Chapter 15, Problem 5CP
Summary Introduction
To review:
The locations of the terminal, sympathetic trunk, and prevertebral ganglia. Also, the kinds of neurons, which synapse in each of these ganglia.
Introduction:
The autonomic ganglia are the sites where the preganglionic neurons and the postganglionic neurons synapse. The autonomic ganglia can be divided into two main groups, namely the sympathetic ganglia and the parasympathetic ganglia.

The cell bodies of autonomic postganglionic neurons are found in ANS ganglia. The cell bodies of another class of neuron are also found in ganglia (but not ANS ganglia). What are these other ganglia called? Determine the structural and functional classification of the neurons found in these other ganglia.

- Distinguish between the sympathetic trunk ganglia and theprevertebral ganglia.arrow_forwardIn the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system: Select one: The ratio between the number of postganglionic and preganglionic neurons is small. A single preganglionic neuron usually synapses with a single postganglionic neuron. An important functional characteristic is convergence of the preganglionic fibers. Preganglionic fibers are usually much longer than the postganglionic fibers. Activity of the neurons tends to have a more generalized and widespread effect on the body.arrow_forwardName the neurotransmitter released at each synapse or neuroeffector junction in the somatic and autonomic systems?arrow_forward
