  • Homeostasis - organ systems working together

    The actions of the ANS are vital to the body. The ANS is composed of highly specialized fibers known as the parasympathetic and sympathetic systems (Gray 2000); both have a close relationship with the cardio-circulatory system.

  • Effects of neurotransmitters on target organs

    In the ANS, pre-ganglionic fibers are those which have neuronal cell bodies before an autonomic ganglion, or collection of autonomic neurons. These are typically the neurons that feed into the autonomic fibers from the brain.

  • The Nervous System: Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Responses

    Both of these systems consist of two neurons: 1) myelinated preganglionic fibers, which make synaptic connections with 2) unmyelinated postganglionic fibers, and it is these that then innervate the effector organ.

  • Autonomic Nervous System - Parasympathetic and Sympathetic

    b) The sympathetic system has short cholinergic preganglionic fibers and long adrenergic postganglionic fibers, while the parasympathetic has long cholinergic preganglionic fibers and short postganglionic fibers (McCorry, 2007).

  • DNA replication

  • Pre- and post-ganglionic neurotransmitters of autonomic sys.

    The parasympathetic division's postganglionic fibers (also known as short fibers) originate from the brain and sacral spinal cord and release acetylcholine. This makes them cholinergic fibers.
