- Neurone Type
Parasympathetic
Motor Innervation of Viscera
- Cranial Nerves
III (oculomotor)
VII (fascial)
IX (glossopharyngeal)
X (vagus)
Motor Innervation of Viscera
- Neurone Arrangement
Neurone cell body in the brainstem
Synapses in parasympathetic brainstem nuclei III, VII, IX and X
Pre-ganglionic neurone travels to the parasympathetic ganglion.
Post-ganglionic neurone travels to the viscera
Motor Innervation of Viscera
- Cranial Nerve III (Oculomotor)
Long pre-ganglionic fibres run in cranial nerve III (oculomotor) to the eye and synapse with the post-ganglionic neurones, which are called the short ciliary nerves, in the ciliary ganglion.
The short ciliary nerves innervate:
- Iris, causing pupil constriction
- Ciliary body, causing contraction that allows animals to focus on nearby objects
Motor Innervation of Viscera
- Cranial Nerve VII (Fascial)
Cranial nerve VII (fascial) gives off the greater superficial petrosal nerve where pre-ganglionic neurones synapses in the pterygopalatine ganglion.
The post-ganglionic neurones provides parasympathetic innervation to:
- Lacrimal glands
- Nasal glands
- Palatine glands
The cranial nerve VII (fascial) gives off the chorda tympani where pre-ganglionic neurones synapse in the submandibular ganglion
The post-ganglionic neurones provide parasympathetic innervation to:
- Mandibular salivary gland
Motor Innervation of Viscera
- Cranial Nerve IX (Glossopharyngeal)
Cranial nerve IX (glossopharyngeal) gives off the petrosal nerve where pre-ganglionic fibres synapse with the post-ganglionic fibres in the otic ganglion.
The post-ganglionic fibres provide parasympathetic innervation to:
- Parotid salivary gland
- Orbital salivary gland (carnivores)
Motor Innervation of Viscera
- Cranial Nerve X (vagus)
Provides parasympathetic innervation to:
- Laryngeal glands
- Oesphageal glands
- Heart
- Lungs
- GI tract to the midgut:hindgut boundary
Innervation of Special Sense Organs
