Question
Chapter 15, Problem 7CYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
The cranial nerve pathway along which postganglionic fibers are carried to the target organs.
Introduction:
The autonomic nervous system innervates the internal organs by two divisions, namely sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. Both divisions show antagonistic (opposite) effects on the organs that are innervated by them. The neuron that releases the neurotransmitter into the synapse is known as preganglionic neurons while the other that receives the neurotransmitter is called postganglionic neurons.

Identify the cranial nerve carrying the preganglionic parasympathetic axons to the ciliary ganglia.
