Are nerve fibers in ascending tracts myelinated?
If I was paying attention in med school, I think... The pre-ganglionic fibers are myelinated and the post-ganglionic are unmyelinated. This is in reference to the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems.
Does parasympathetic have postganglionic axons secrete norepinephrine?
no, not all postganglionic sympathetic fibre neuron secrete NE
Nerve cell axons inside the CNS called?
Sometimes the term ganglia is used as in the sympathetic and parasympathetic ganglia of the autonomic nervous system.
Are axons most located and protected within the CNS?
axons
Axons that are much slower than axons coated with 19 down?
i have the same crossword right in front of me! its demyelinated
What does a pelvic splanchnic nerve contains?
Preganglionic parasympathetic fibers. In the Parasympathetic division, the preganglionic axons leave the ventral roots of the spinal cord and collectively form the pelvic splanchnic nerves.

All preganglionic axons of the autonomic nervous system release what?
acetylcholine (ACH)
Which endocrine gland is directly innervated by sympathetic preganglionic axons?
pituitary gland
Postganglionic axons secrete acetylcholine cholinergic fibers?
Parasympathetic
Does parasympathetic have postganglionic axons secrete norepinephrine?
no, not all postganglionic sympathetic fibre neuron secrete NE
Sympathetic nerves may leave the spinal cord at which vertebra?
Preganglionic sympathetic axons leave the spinal cord throughout the thoracic spine and the upper lumber spine (T1-L2).These preganglionic sympathetic axons exit the spinal canal within the anterior primary ramus and then quickly separate to travel via the white ramus communicans to the ipsilateral sympathetic trunk.
How many efferent neurons are used in a somatic action potential?
The autonomic reflex contains two. (preganglionic and postganglionic)
Nerve cell axons inside the CNS called?

Gray rami communicantes connect to what two structures?
White rami communicantes (sing. ramus communicans) are literally white branches of communication between each spinal nerve and the sympathetic trunk. Their color is white because these lines of communication contain mainly myelinated nerve fibers of pre-ganglionic general visceral efferents from the spinal cord. Many of the pre-ganglionic nerve fibers synapse at the corresponding spinal segment level, and thus build a sympathetic ganglion at that level. Other pre-ganglionic white fibers either ascend or descend in the sympathetic trunk before synapsing in sympathetic ganglia above or below the spinal segment of origin. The sympathetic ganglia are literally knots in the sympathetic cord primarily containing cell bodies of the post-ganglionic neurons, whose axons are unmyelinated and gray in color. These unmyelinated post-ganglionic nerve fibers rejoin the spinal nerve at that level via the gray rami communicantes,as well as ascending or descending to adjacent levels. The white rami may also contain lightly myelinated sympathetic afferents whose cell bodies in the dorsal root ganglia synapse in the dorsal horn gray of the spinal cord. ANSWER: Carry preganglionic axons to the sympathetic chain
What spinal cord location would you find the origin of the white rami communicantes.?
The white rami communicantes are myelinated pre-ganglionic fibers (myelinated axons) from cell bodies located in the internal gray of the spinal cord. These fibers represent general visceral efferents of the sympathetic nervous system.
Are axons most located and protected within the CNS?
axons
