Preganglionic Neurons
Parasympathetic ganglia of the head
The parasympathetic division has craniosacral outflow, meaning that the neurons begin at the cranial nerves (CN3, CN7, CN9, CN10) and the sacral (S2–S4) spinal cord. Pre- and post-ganglionic fibers and targets are depicted.
This is a diagram of the parasympathetic division of the head. It depicts craniosacral outflow, meaning that the neurons begin at the cranial nerves (CN3, CN7, CN9, CN10) and the sacral (S2-S4) spinal cord. The pre- and post-ganglionic fibers and targets are depicted for the eyes, nose, and mouth.
