Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Sympathetic nervous system is part of the autonomic nervous system, which is responsible for governing most of the vital body functions. Sympathetic division consists of preganglionic and postganglionic nerve fibers as their integral constituents to perform its action in the target organ site. Since the sympathetic system emerges from the brain and it innervates a large group of organ sites, it has a long network of preganglionic and postganglionic nerve fibers associated with them through spinal cord.

- Explains how the sympathetic nervous system and parasympathetic nervous system work together as foils, balancing each other out. Their key anatomical differences - where nerve fibers originate and their ganglia are located - drive their distinct anatomical functions, making the sympathetic nervous system the "fight or flight" while the parasympathetic nervous system is for "resting and digesting."arrow_forwardMost parasympathetic preganglionic fibers are found in the________ nerve.arrow_forward
