Are parasympathetic postganglionic neurons long or short?

The postganglionic fibers that arise from the parasympathetic effector neurons are very short, and they are restricted to the visceral organs. Unlike the sympathetic nerves, parasympathetic fibers do not travel in spinal nerves to innervate other peripheral tissues.

Does the parasympathetic system have postganglionic neurons?

Preganglionic neurons of the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions and postganglionic neurons of the parasympathetic nervous system utilize acetylcholine [ACh]. Postganglionic neurons of the sympathetic nervous system use norepinephrine and epinephrine.

Which division of the autonomic nervous system has very long postganglionic neurons?

Parasympathetic Division The axons of the preganglionic neurons are quite long compared to those of the sympathetic system and synapse with postganglionic neurons within terminal ganglia which are close to or embedded within the effector tissues.

Are sympathetic postganglionic neurons longer than parasympathetic?

In general, parasympathetic preganglionic neurons are longer than sympathetic postganglionic neurons [Click here for a comparison of preganglionic neurons and postganglionic neurons in the autonomic nervous system].
