The second neuron, the postganglionic neuron, originates in this ganglion and terminates on the [smooth muscle](/entries/smooth-muscle… -
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 (…
