Ganglionic Transmission: Morphology and Physiology

  • Chapter
Pharmacology of Ganglionic Transmission

Part of the book series: Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology ((HEP,volume 53))

Abstract

Centrifugal pathways of the ganglia begin with preganglionic fibres. Their cell bodies are located in the lateral column of the spinal cord, particularly in the nucleus intermediolateralis (for sympathetic preganglionic fibres) or in the nuclei of the III, IV, IX, and X cranial nerves and in sacral segments of the spinal cord (for parasympathetic preganglionic fibres).
