Preganglionic neurones of the SNS are located in the intermediolateral cell column of the thoracolumbar spinal cord (T1-L3)
Preganglionic neurones synapse (acetylcholine) onto postganglionic sympathetic neurones in the paravertebral and prevertebral ganglia
Noradrenaline is the neurotransmitter at all target tissues except for the sweat glands (ACh)
The parasympathetic nervous system has two divisions, cranial and sacral
Preganglionic neurones of the parasympathetic nervous system are located in the intermediolateral cell column of the sacral spinal cord (S2-S4) and the brainstem nuclei of cranial nerve III, VII, IX and X
Cranial nerve X is the vagus nerve, responsible for >70% of function
Preganglionic neurones sypanse (acetlycholine) onto postganglionic parasympathetic neurones in ganglia close to the target tissue (PNS)
PNS, ACh is the neurotransmitter at all target tissues
PNS vs SNS
