No, parasympathetic postganglionic fibers do not come from adrenergic fibers. Parasympathetic postganglionic fibers release acetylcholine as their neurotransmitter, whereas adrenergic fibers release norepinephrine.
The submandibular ganglion sends postganglionic fibers to the sublingual and submandibular salivary glands.
Postganglionic fibers innervate glands in the body primarily through the autonomic nervous system, specifically the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. These fibers originate from autonomic ganglia and connect to target tissues, including glands, often by traveling alongside spinal nerves. In the case of sympathetic innervation, postganglionic fibers may follow blood vessels or directly innervate glands like the adrenal medulla. In contrast, parasympathetic fibers arise from cranial nerves and sacral spinal nerves, directly influencing glands such as salivary and lacrimal glands.
Preganglionic fibers of the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system synapse with postganglionic neurons in the ganglia located near or within their target organs. This allows for the transmission of nerve impulses from the central nervous system to the specific organs to regulate functions like digestion, salivation, and smooth muscle contraction.
Sympathetic postganglionic fibers end in effector organs such as smooth muscles, cardiac muscles, and glands. They innervate these structures to modulate their activity in response to stress or stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system.
Postganglionic axons are unmyelinated primarily because they are typically shorter and have slower conduction velocities compared to myelinated fibers. The myelination process requires significant metabolic resources, and since postganglionic axons generally transmit signals over shorter distances, the energy cost of myelination is not justified. Additionally, unmyelinated fibers are often involved in the modulation of involuntary functions, where slower transmission speeds are adequate for their role in the autonomic nervous system.
Parasympathetic
Norepinephrine is mainly secreted by the adrenal medulla and the postganglionic fibers of the sympathetic nervous system, which are also known as adrenergic fibers. These fibers release norepinephrine in response to stress or arousal, helping to initiate the body's fight or flight response.
The submandibular ganglion sends postganglionic fibers to the sublingual and submandibular salivary glands.
The parasympathetic nervous system has long preganglionic and short postganglionic fibers

Parasympathetic stimulation is a process that takes place in the peripheral nervous system. This is a process where signals are carried throughout the body.
