Question
Chapter 15.2, Problem 5AYLO
Summary Introduction
To discuss:
Various places in which a sympathetic preganglionic fiber may synapse with a postganglionic neuron.
Introduction:
Nerve cells connect other nerve cells through synapses. A typical nerve cell consists of cell body with branching dendrites, axon, and terminal dendrites as roots. A dendrite of one neural cell is the continuation of cell body of adjacent neurons to form an integral neural circuit. Mostly, these networks are established by means of synaptic cleft or synaptic network.

Students have asked these similar questions
The cell bodies of sympathetic preganglionic rHeurons are located in
O the dorsal root ganglia
the ventral horn
small neuronal clusters situated outside of target organs such as the intestines and kidne
the intermediolateral cell column of the spinal cord
Both sympathetic and parasympathetic preganglionic neurons are cholinergic and
secrete the neurotransmitter-
O acetylcholine
O norepinephrine
Once a sympathetic preganglionic axon reaches a paravertebral ganglion, it can: synapse with a post-
ganglionic neuron, at the same spinal segment level.
O True
False
