Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The autonomic nervous system are present on the preganglionic neuron of the CNS and autonomic ganglia of the PNS. The sympathetic axons travel through the sympathetic chain ganglia to their target cell and are named based on the respective organ and glands. The parasympathetic axons travel from cranial and sacral nerves to the target tissue and helps in stimulating their activity.
