Preganglionic cell bodies are located at __,, levels of SC. Axons travel in ______ ______ nerves to reach the ______ _____ plexus, where they synapse on postgangs.

Postganglionic cell bodies in _____ _____ plexus send axons into _____ nerves, which pass through ___ _______ to reach ______ tissue.

A

Parasympathetics are primarily responsible for ERECTION.

Preganglionic cell bodies are located at S2,3,4 levels of SC. Axons travel in PELVIC SPLANCHNIC nerves to reach the INFERIOR HYPOGASTRIC plexus, where they synapse on postgangs.
