The sympathetic ganglion that distributes postganglionic neuron processes to the kidneys and gonads is the prevertebral ganglion called the superior mesenteric ganglion. It is located in the abdominal cavity, anterior to the aorta and just below the origin of the superior mesenteric artery.

What sympathetic ganglion distributes postganglionic neuronal processes to the kidneys?
aorticorenal ganglion
Which Postganglionic fibers emerging from pterygopalatine ganglion of trigeminal nerve?
Maxillary division (V2) of trigeminal nerve is associated with the pterygopalatine ganglion.
Is the adrenal medulla a misplaced sympathetic ganglion?
The adrenal medulla has many similarities with post-ganglionic sympathetic neurons, they release catecholamine because medullary cells are derived from the neural crest and, as such, are simply modified neurons. The adrenal gland releases epinephrine, norepinephrine and dopamine in response to neural not hormonal signals just like postganglionic neurons. The most significant different between adrenal medulla cells and true postganglionic sympathetic neurons is the absence of axons. The neurotrasmitter has become a hormone and is released into the blood.
Is stellate ganglion an infusion?
Stellate ganglion: (neuroscience) The ganglion formed by the fusion of the inferior cervical and the first thoracic sympathetic ganglions.Read more: cervicothoracic-ganglion
Where are post ganglionic neurons cell bodies located?
Postganglionic neuron cell body lies outside the CNS in an autonomic ganglion
What sympathetic ganglion distributes postganglionic neuronal processes to the kidneys?
aorticorenal ganglion
The postganglionic sympathetic fiber originates from?
The postganglionic sympathetic fiber originates from PNS within a ganglion
Do all visceral motor neurons synapse in a sympathetic ganglion?
No; some axons synapse in nearby autonomic ganglion. postganglionic fibers travel along either sympathetic nerves or rejoin at the spinal nerve.
Which Postganglionic fibers emerging from pterygopalatine ganglion of trigeminal nerve?
Maxillary division (V2) of trigeminal nerve is associated with the pterygopalatine ganglion.
Once a sympathetic preganglionic axon reaches a trunk ganglion what can it do?
it can 1. synapse with a ganglionic neuron in the same trunk ganglion, 2. ascend or descend the sympathetic trunk to synapse in another trunk ganglion or 3. pass through the trunk ganglion and emerge from the sympathetic trunk without synapsing The answer: Synapse with a parasympathetic neuron in the same trunk ganglion

What is the celiac ganglion?
The celiac ganglion is part of the prevertrebral ganglions. It is the ganglion that is part of the sympathetic nervous system that innervates the digestive system.
What is a preganglionic neuron?
autonomic motor neuron that has its body in a peripheral ganglion and projects its (postganglionic) axon to an effector.
What are the differences between preganglionic and postganglionic neurons?
You have a really good question. Studying the nervous system can be overwhelming and quit confusing. Preganglionic Neurons come from the CNS to the Ganglion ( mass of neuron cell bodies and dendrites) and Postganglionic neurons leave the ganglion and head toward the effector organ ( smooth muscle, glands, etc..).
Where are post ganglionic neurons cell bodies located?
Postganglionic neuron cell body lies outside the CNS in an autonomic ganglion
What gland is a modified sympathetic ganglion that produces amine hormones?
the adrenal medulla
