Oct 30, 2023 · The parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS) is a division of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) that controls the activity of the smooth and cardiac muscles and glands. It works in synergy with the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), which complements the PSNS activity.

The parasympathetic fibres begin in the central nervous system. The nerves supplying the head and neck are situated within four nuclei, located within the brainstem. Each nucleus is associated with a cranial nerve(the oculomotor, facial, glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves) – these nerves carry the parasympathetic fibres out of the brain. After leavi...
Theciliary ganglion is located within the bony orbit. It is situated anteriorly to the superior orbital fissure, between the lateral rectus muscle and the optic nerve. 1. Pre-ganglionic fibres: The ciliary ganglion is supplied by fibres from the Edinger-Westphal nucleus (associated with the oculomotor nerve). 1. Post-ganglionic fibres: The parasymp...
The pterygopalatine ganglion (also known as sphenopalatine) is the largest of the four parasympathetic ganglia. It is located within the pterygopalatine fossa – a space located inferiorly to the base of the skull, and posteriorly to the maxilla. 1. Pre-ganglionic fibres: The pterygopalatine ganglion is supplied by fibres from the superior salivator...
Thesubmandibular ganglionis located inferiorly to the lingual nerve, from which it is suspended. 1. Pre-ganglionic fibres: The ganglion is supplied by fibres from the superior salivatory nucleus (associated with the facial nerve). These fibres are carried within a branch of the facial nerve, the chorda tympani. This nerve hitch-hikes along the ling...
Theotic ganglionis located inferiorly to the foramen ovale, within the infratemporal fossa. It is medial to the mandibular branch of the trigeminal nerve. 1. Pre-ganglionic fibres: The ganglion is supplied by fibres from inferior salivatory nucleus (associated with the glossopharyngeal nerve). Parasympathetic fibres travel within a branch of the gl...

Sep 21, 2023 · The parasympathetic nervous system is a component of the autonomic nervous system that governs “rest and digest” activities. It works to conserve energy and facilitate recovery by slowing down the heart rate, dilating blood vessels, and stimulating digestive processes.
Oct 31, 2022 · The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) is 1 of the 2 functionally distinct and continuously active autonomic nervous system (ANS) divisions. It opposes the other, the sympathetic nervous system (SNS). The parasympathetic nervous system predominates in quiet “rest and digest” conditions.

As in the sympathetic nervous system, efferent parasympathetic nerve signals are carried from the central nervous system to their targets by a system of two neurons. The first neuron in this pathway is referred to as the preganglionic or presynaptic neuron.
Mar 8, 2023 · The parasympathetic nervous system is a division of the autonomic nervous system, which controls bodily functions that occur without conscious control, such as heart rate, respiration,...
