Best Answer

Most of the parasympathetic motor pathway goes through oculomotor, facial, glassopharyngeal and vagus nerve. They are third, seventh, ninth and tenth cranial nerves. There is sacral out flow also.

What do the neurons of the motor pathway control?

Motor pathway neurons control your motor skills such as walking, running, lifting your arm.


The parasympathetic motor pathways begin in the areas?

Most parasympathetic motor pathways begin in the dorsal aspect of the medulla, in the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus nerve. Parasympathetic motor pathways also come from the preganglionic cell bodies located in the lateral horn of the spinal cord in the sacral region (pelvic splanchnic nerves). Thus, the description cranio-sacral is often used to describe the origins of the parasympathetic innervation.

What is the difference between the vagus nerve and the parasympathetic nerve relating to the respiratory system?

Vagus nerve has a lot of branches. Some of them form a motor supply to the muscle (thru recurrent laryngeal nerve) whereas some form a parasympathetic chain that supply the respiratory system and other system too (ie: Cardiovascular parasympathetic also supplied by the brach of vagus) The branches of the vagus that differ the motor function and the parasympathetic fuction related to the respiratory system.
