Short preganglionic axons are characteristic of the sympathetic nervous system. In the sympathetic division, these axons originate in the spinal cord and project to nearby ganglia, which are typically located close to the spinal cord. In contrast, the parasympathetic nervous system features long preganglionic axons that extend from the brainstem or sacral spinal cord to ganglia located near or within target organs.
What else can I help you with?
Does the parasympathetic division have long preganglionic axons and a short ganglionic axon?
Yes, the parasympathetic division typically has long preganglionic axons and short ganglionic axons. The ganglia of the parasympathetic division are typically located near or within the target organ, leading to short postganglionic axons.
What part of the PNS controls the pupillary response?
Pupillary response is controlled by the autonomic nervous system.In bright light or when looking at close objects, the parasympathetic nervous system will cause pupillary constriction by activating the sphincter pupillae muscle(s). The parasympathetic nerves that innervate the sphincter pupillae are the short ciliary nerves, which come from the ciliary ganglion in the orbit. Innervation of the ciliary ganglion is via parasympathetic pre-ganglionic fibers traveling with the occulomoter nerve from the edinger-westfall nucleus in the cranial midbrain.In low light, when looking at distant objects, or when stress levels are high (fight or flight) the sympathetic nervous system will cause pupillary dilation by activating the iris dilator muscle(s). The sympathetic nerves that innervate these muscles come from the superior cervical ganglion.
How do the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems operate antagonistically in emotional responses?
One system creates an emotional response, and the other dampens it. The sympathetic nervous system creates a short-term mobilizing response, and the parasympathetic nervous system dampens it in the long term.
What hormone is released from stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system?
Anatomically, the adrenal medulla develops from neural crest tissue, and it is directly controlled by sympathetic NS. The medullary cells respond to this stimulation by releasing epineprhrine (80%) or norepinephrine (20%), which can act in conjunction with the sympathetic NS to elicit the fight-or-flight response to stressors.epinephrine, from the adrenal medulla.Norepinephrine/Noradrenaline working with Epinephrine/Adrenalineepinephrine and norepinephrine
How effective is the axon as a conductor of electricity?
Axons are poor conductors of electricity. This is because they are short as 0.01 mm to 1 mm. Current encounter resistance when travelling over shorter distances.
Does the parasympathetic division have long preganglionic axons and a short ganglionic axon?
Yes, the parasympathetic division typically has long preganglionic axons and short ganglionic axons. The ganglia of the parasympathetic division are typically located near or within the target organ, leading to short postganglionic axons.
Which division of the autonomic nervous system is characterized by short preganglionic and long postganglionic fibers?
The parasympathetic nervous system has long preganglionic and short postganglionic fibers
Which division of the nervous system has short preganglionic neurons?
sympathetic
Why are sympathetic responses generally widespread?
Sympathetic responses are more widespread because of the way the efferent nerves (from spinal cord outward) are positioned. The autonomic system has two neurons between its spinal cord and the organ that it is modulating whereas the somatic system has only one. The difference between the sympathetic and the parasympathetic is that in the case of sympathetic, the first nerve out of the spinal cord, called the preganglionic fiber is extremely short and ends relatively close to the spinal cord. Here, the preganglionic fiber synapses with on average of 10 postganglionic fibers which then moves onto effect a variety of different organs. On the other hand, in the parasympathetic division the preganglionic nerve are extremely long and extends until it is almost at the organ. From there, it synapses with a very short post-synaptic nerve that then synapses an organ. The ratio in this case can be about 1:3 but usually is 1:1. To sum things up, in the sympathetic division, the preganglionic fiber terminates very early and therefore has the "opportunity" to interact with a variety of nerves. On the other hand, the parasympathetic division has such a long preganglionic fiber that by the time it synapses its post ganglionic fiber, it is pretty much at the organ. NE and epinephrine are secreted into the blood as part of the sympathetic response.

What are similarities between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system?
Question is short but answer is bit long. Parasympathetic system is meant for to to maintain the homeostasis and body building. Sympathetic system is meant to give you ' Fight or flight response. So you have pupils constricted in parasympathetic and dilated in sympathetic response. You need not see towards the world during first and need to look at the world carefully in danger. Secretions of gastrointestinal system are increased, peristalsis is increased, spinctures are opened up during stimulation of the parasympathetic system. This helps in digestion and body building. Vise verse is true with sympathetic system. During stimulation of the sympathetic system your cardiovascular system is on the toes, to supply more blood to muscles. So the heart rate is increased, stroke volume is increased ans as a result you have great increase in cardiac output. So cardiac output may go to 25 litres / minute from 5 litres / minutes. Blood vessels to muscles are dilated, so that almost 20 litres blood goes to muscles. Net increase from 0.5 litres to 20 litres / minute. In respiratory system you have bronchial system dilated to provide more oxygen to lungs in sympathetic stimulation, the bronchial secretions are less in amount and respiratory rate increases to high level. Vise verse is true with parasympathetic system, when you are resting and need less of the oxygen. In parasympathetic system you have contraction of urinary bladder and relaxation of the spincture to void the urine. During stress you have no time for urination and reverse is true. Erection of penis is managed by parasympathetic system and ejaculation is done by sympathetic system.
Responsibility of the autonomic nervous system?
All the unvoluntary things.... You have the parasympathetic nervous and the sympathetic nervous system. Parasympathetic nervous system: Long pre-g, short post-g aka the craniosacral nervous system - The slow responses.... like slow heart rate by vagus nerve Sympathetic nervous system: Short preg-, long post-g aka the thoracolumbar nervous system - Fight or flight responses like increase heart rate . Pre-g nicotinic stimulation to adrenal medulla which releases adrenaline (epinephrine)
How do the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems operate antagonistically in emotional responses?
One system creates an emotional response, and the other dampens it. The sympathetic nervous system creates a short-term mobilizing response, and the parasympathetic nervous system dampens it in the long term.
What is the difference in the origins of the nerves in the sympathetic and parasympathetic system?
There is no difference in the origins of the nerves in the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. The differences come from the lengths and the neurotransmitter released. The parasympathetic nervous system is a two nerve system. The first nerve is long and releases acetyl choline. The second nerve is short and also releases acetyl choline. The sympathetic nervous system is also two nerves, the first being short and releasing acetyl choline. The second is long and releases norepinephrine. Hope this helped!
