    Anatomical Organization and Efferent Pathways
    The $\text{ANS}$ utilizes a two-neuron chain to connect the Central Nervous System ($\text{CNS}$) to the target effector organ. The first neuron, originating in the $\text{CNS}$, is the preganglionic neuron, whose axon extends to an autonomic ganglion. The second neuron, the postganglionic neuron, originates in this ganglion and terminates on the [smooth muscle](/entries/smooth-muscle…
  2. Autonomic Nervous System

    Linked via "ganglion"

    Ganglia: Sympathetic ganglia are typically located close to the spinal cord. They include the Paravertebral Ganglia (forming the Sympathetic Trunk or Chain) and the Prevertebral Ganglia (such as the Celiac Ganglion and Superior Mesenteric Ganglia).
    Neurotransmitters: The primary neurotransmitter released at the ganglion is [Acetylcholine (…
