    This is a table of neurotransmitter actions in the ANS (autonomic nervous system). It includes the circulatory system , the respiratory system , the visual system , the digestive system , the endocrine system , the urinary system , the reproductive system , and the integumentary system .

  4. Autonomic nervous system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomic_nervous_system

    Autonomic nervous system, showing splanchnic nerves in middle, and the vagus nerve as "X" in blue. The heart and organs below in list to right are regarded as viscera. The autonomic nervous system has been classically divided into the sympathetic nervous system and parasympathetic nervous system only (i.e., exclusively motor).

  5. Classification of peripheral nerves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classification_of...

    In 1898, British scientist John Newport Langley first coined the term "autonomic" in classifying the connections of nerve fibers to peripheral nerve cells. [3] Previous researchers had utilized different terms such as "the sympathetic nerves" [Winslow et al.] to describe the way in which neurons in one part of the body brought about sympathetic reactions in another part of the body, as well as ...

  6. Sympathetic ganglia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympathetic_ganglia

    The sympathetic ganglia, or paravertebral ganglia, are autonomic ganglia of the sympathetic nervous system. Ganglia are 20,000 to 30,000 afferent and efferent nerve cell bodies that run along on either side of the spinal cord. Afferent nerve cell bodies bring information from the body to the brain and spinal cord, while efferent nerve cell ...

  7. General visceral afferent fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_visceral_afferent...

    In the abdomen, general visceral afferent fibers usually accompany sympathetic efferent fibers. This means that a signal traveling in an afferent fiber will begin at sensory receptors in the afferent fiber's target organ, travel up to the ganglion where the sympathetic efferent fiber synapses, continue back along a splanchnic nerve from the ganglion into the sympathetic trunk, move into a ...

  8. Neuroeffector junction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroeffector_junction

    The structure of the autonomic neuromuscular junction consists of several essential features including that: the terminal portions of autonomic nerve fibers are varicose and mobile, transmitters being released 'en passage' from varying distances from the effector cells; while there is no structural post-junctional specialization on effector ...

  9. Sympathetic trunk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympathetic_trunk

    The sympathetic trunk is a fundamental part of the sympathetic nervous system, and part of the autonomic nervous system.It allows nerve fibres to travel to spinal nerves that are superior and inferior to the one in which they originated.
