AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The second motor neuron that leaves the ganglion and extends to the organ
A
cholinergic neuron
B
postganglionic neuron
C
preganglionic neuron
D
adrenergic neuron
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The second motor neuron is called a ganglionic neuron. The cell body of the ganglionic neuron resides within the autonomic ganglion and its axon extends to an effector (cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, or gland) forming a postganglionic fiber.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cell body of the second neuron (also in the autonomic ganglion) its unmyelinanted axon extends from the ganglion to the effector (smooth muscle, cardiac, or gland).

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: Autonomic Nervous System This part of the autonomic nervous system involves the cranial nerves of the brain as well as sacral nerves.

Detailed explanation-4: -The postganglionic neuron, the second neuron in the autonomic motor pathway, lies entirely outside the CNS. a. Its cell body and dendrites are located in an autonomic ganglion, where it makes synapses with one or more preganglionic fibers.

Detailed explanation-5: -Nicotinic receptors are found on the cell bodies of all postganglionic neurons, both sympathetic and parasympathetic, in the ganglia of the ANS.
