The preganglionic fibers of the autonomic nervous system travel through the cranial nerves (in the head) and the spinal nerves (in the rest of the body). They synapse with postganglionic neurons in autonomic ganglia before reaching their target organs.

Put the following nerve types in order from the slowest conduction velocity to the fastest?

The nerve types in order from slowest conduction velocity to fastest are: C fibers (slow pain and temperature) B fibers (preganglionic autonomic) Aδ fibers (fast pain and temperature) Aβ fibers (touch and pressure) Aα fibers (motor neurons)


Which is ganglion of lacrimation?

The pterygopalatine ganglion is responsible for lacrimation (tear production). It receives preganglionic parasympathetic fibers from the facial nerve (CN VII) via the greater petrosal nerve and contributes to the regulation of tear secretion.


What do you call collection of nerve fibers in the brain longitudinal in form?

The collection of nerve fibers in the brain that are longitudinal in form is called a "fasciculus." Fasciculi are bundles of nerve fibers that travel together and share a common function or destination within the brain.


Preganglionic fibers of the parasympathetic division of the ANS synapse with the?

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.


A collection of nerve fibers through which impulses travel between the central nervous system and other parts of the body?

This is the definition of a nerve. Nerves are composed of bundles of nerve fibers that transmit electrical signals to and from the central nervous system to control movement, sensations, and other bodily functions.

Does the white rami communicans contain fibers of a preganglionic or postganglionic neurons?

Preganglionic because they are myelinated. FALSE


The very long cranial nerve that originates from the nuclei in the medulla oblongata and projects preganglionic fibers through the neck to the thoracic and abdominal cavities is the what nerve?

vagus (X)


How fast nerve impulses travel?

Nerve impulses travel through nerve fibers, and the speed of which they travel depends on the type of nerve fiber. They travel usually around 86 miles per hour.


What does a pelvic splanchnic nerve contains?

Preganglionic parasympathetic fibers. In the Parasympathetic division, the preganglionic axons leave the ventral roots of the spinal cord and collectively form the pelvic splanchnic nerves.


Which nerve fiber do impulses travel slowly?

Unmyelinated nerve fibers conduct impulses more slowly than myelinated nerve fibers. Myelinated nerve fibers have a fatty substance called myelin sheath that allows for faster transmission of impulses compared to unmyelinated fibers without this sheath.


How fast do nerves impulses travel?

Nerve impulses travel through nerve fibers via a action potential and the speed at which the impulse travels depends on the type of nerve fibre. This can range from 100m/s in the case of touch to 20-30 m/s when you're thinking.


A pelvic splanchnic nerve contains?

The pelvic splanchnic nerve contains parasympathetic fibers that regulate the function of pelvic organs, such as the bladder, rectum, and reproductive organs. These fibers are involved in controlling processes like urination, defecation, and sexual function.

Which nerves contain the most parasympathetic preganglionic fibers a trigeminal b splanchnic c optic d vagus?

D. vagus. this is the largest Cranial nerve, carrying parasympathetic information to much of the body (ie. esophagus, GI tract, heart). parasympathetic fibers, unlike sympathetic fibers, do not synapse until they are pretty much on in or near the organ. So the vagus is made up of preganglionic parasympathetics.trigeminal contains somatic afferents, and somatic efferents. neither of these are visceral efferents (which could be para or sympathetic).wikipedia tells you correctly that splanchnic nerves are generally sympathetic autonomics, except for one spot.optic nerve is carrying Afferent sensory information Away from the eye.


Anterior root of the spinal cord is composed of?

The anterior root is composed of nerve fibers responsible for motor activity (i.e. efferent nerve fibers that will stimulate muscles, etc.). I think some of the things it is composed of include:Gamma motor neurons, alpha motor neurons, preganglionic autonomic neurons


What surrounds each bundle of nerve fibers?

Each bundle of nerve fibers is surrounded by connective tissue called the perineurium. This protective layer helps to support and protect the bundle of nerve fibers as they travel throughout the body.
