the sympathetic division of the ans has long postganglionic axons?
438315
The sympathetic division of the ANS has: long postganglionic axons. norepinephrine as a transmitter substance. preganglionic neuron cell bodies in the T1-L2 regions of the spinal cord.

The cranial preganglionic neurons project to the cranial nerves with autonomic activity: III, VII, IX, and X. Unlike the sympathetic nervous system, the parasympathetic postganglionic neurons are located near to end-organ systems, resulting in long preganglionic axons and relatively short postganglionic axons.

They are pseudo unipolar neurons with cell bodies residing in one of several ganglia located near the central nervous system, with the short branch of the axon connecting to the spinal cord or the brain stem and the long branch extending towards the peripheral organ they innervate.

the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems are subdivisions of the autonomic nervous system. ... the parasympathetic division is also called the craniosacral division since the preganglionic neurons originate in the brain and sacral region of the spinal cord.

Both sympathetic and parasympathetic preganglionic neurons are cholinergic, meaning they release acetylcholine (Ach) at the synapse in the ganglion. In the parasympathetic system, postganglionic neurons are also cholinergic. However in the sympathetic system, postganglionic are not all the same.

Ganglia are collections, or small knots, of nerve cell bodies outside the CNS. The peripheral nervous system is further subdivided into an afferent (sensory) division and an efferent (motor) division. The afferent or sensory division transmits impulses from peripheral organs to the CNS.

Structure. The peripheral nervous system is divided into the somatic nervous system, and the autonomic nervous system.
654563
The cell bodies of parasympathetic preganglionic neurons reside either in the brain stem or in the sacral spinal cord. ... Thus, parasympathetic preganglionic nerves are quite long, standing in contrast to the short preganglionic fibers of the sympathetic nervous system.

the two anatomical divisions of the nervous system are the central nervous system(CNS), consisting of the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system(PNS), consisting of all neural tissue outside the CNS.

Parasympathetic Nervous System. The parasympathetic nervous system is composed mainly of the cranial and sacral spinal nerves. The preganglionic neurons, arising from either the brain or sacral spinal cord, synapse with just a few postganglionic neurons which are located in or near the effector organ (muscle or gland).
988522
The two fundamental anatomical divisions of the nervous system are the Central Nervous System (brain and spinal cord) and the Peripheral Nervous System, which consists of all nerves outside the brain and spinal cord.

What is the major structural difference between sympathetic preganglionic and postganglionic fibers? Preganglionic fibers are short, and postganglionic fibers are long. How does a medication that blocks beta receptors help a patient with high blood pressure?

The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system influences the various organ systems of the body through connections emerging from the thoracic and upper lumbar spinal cord. It is referred to as the thoracolumbar system to reflect this anatomical basis.

Autonomic Nervous System. The autonomic nervous system is divided into three parts: the sympathetic nervous system, the parasympathetic nervous system and the enteric nervous system. The autonomic nervous system controls smooth muscle of the viscera (internal organs) and glands.
1456287
The other division that arises from the central nervous system is the sympathetic nervous system, whose outflows are from the thoracic and upper lumbar spinal cord. The functions subserved by the parasympathetic division are diverse.

Sympathetic nervous system, division of the nervous system that functions to produce localized adjustments (such as sweating as a response to an increase in temperature) and reflex adjustments of the cardiovascular system.

The autonomic nervous system has three branches: the sympathetic nervous system, the parasympathetic nervous system and the enteric nervous system.
