sympathetic pathway
location
thoracolumbar
sympathetic pathway
fiber length
short preganglionic
long postganglionics
sympathetic pathway
location of ganglia
paired paravertebral, prevertebral
sympathetic pathway
degree of collateral branching
branched
-allows for activation of more postganglionic cells
parasympathetic pathway
degree of collateral branching
not branched
parasympathetic pathway
location of ganglia
at / near organ
parasympathetic pathway
fiber length
long preganglionic
short postganglionic
parasympathetic pathway
location
craniosacral
parasympathetic responses
constricts pupils, bronchi, bladder
stimulates salivation, digestion, gallbladder
relaxes heart, rectum
sympathetic responses
dilates pupils
relaxes bronchi, bladder
stimulates heart, glucose release by liver, epi / norepi release by kidney, rectum
inhibits salivation, digestion
