Autonomic nerve function in body

the vagus nerve
The nerve that carries autonomic signals away from the central nervous system is classified as the preganglionic nerve. These nerves originate from the brain or spinal cord and synapse with postganglionic neurons in autonomic ganglia.

Autonomic nerve damage is most noticeable when an individual stands upright and experiences problems such as light-headedness or changes in blood pressure
The autonomic nervous system nerve serving the thoracic region is the thoracic splanchnic nerve. It helps regulate functions in the abdominal and pelvic regions.
The autonomic fibers are contained within the ventral (anterior) root of the spinal nerve. These fibers are responsible for carrying signals to and from the autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary bodily functions.
They are controlled by the autonomic nervous system.
The cranial nerve that affects smooth muscle in the stomach is the vagus nerve, or cranial nerve X. It plays a crucial role in the autonomic nervous system, particularly in promoting parasympathetic activity, which stimulates digestive processes. The vagus nerve innervates the smooth muscle of the stomach, facilitating peristalsis and the secretion of digestive enzymes.
