Autonomic nervous system

The autonomic nervous system (ANS), sometimes called the visceral nervous system and formerly the vegetative nervous system, is a division of the nervous system that operates internal organs, smooth muscle and glands.

See General visceral efferent fiber and Autonomic nervous system

Axon

An axon (from Greek ἄξων áxōn, axis) or nerve fiber (or nerve fibre: see spelling differences) is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, in vertebrates, that typically conducts electrical impulses known as action potentials away from the nerve cell body.

See General visceral efferent fiber and Axon

Cardiac muscle

Cardiac muscle (also called heart muscle or myocardium) is one of three types of vertebrate muscle tissues, with the other two being skeletal muscle and smooth muscle.

See General visceral efferent fiber and Cardiac muscle

Cranial nerves

Cranial nerves are the nerves that emerge directly from the brain (including the brainstem), of which there are conventionally considered twelve pairs.

See General visceral efferent fiber and Cranial nerves

Efferent nerve fiber

Efferent nerve fibers are the axons of efferent neurons that exit a particular region.

See General visceral efferent fiber and Efferent nerve fiber

Elsevier

Elsevier is a Dutch academic publishing company specializing in scientific, technical, and medical content.

See General visceral efferent fiber and Elsevier

Facial nerve

The facial nerve, also known as the seventh cranial nerve, cranial nerve VII, or simply CN VII, is a cranial nerve that emerges from the pons of the brainstem, controls the muscles of facial expression, and functions in the conveyance of taste sensations from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue. General visceral efferent fiber and facial nerve are autonomic nervous system.

See General visceral efferent fiber and Facial nerve

General somatic afferent fiber

The general somatic afferent fibers (GSA or somatic sensory fibers) afferent fibers arise from neurons in sensory ganglia and are found in all the spinal nerves, except occasionally the first cervical, and conduct impulses of pain, touch and temperature from the surface of the body through the dorsal roots to the spinal cord and impulses of muscle sense, tendon sense and joint sense from the deeper structures. General visceral efferent fiber and general somatic afferent fiber are Neuroanatomy stubs.

See General visceral efferent fiber and General somatic afferent fiber

General somatic efferent fiber

The general (spinal) somatic efferent neurons (GSE, somatomotor, or somatic motor fibers) arise from motor neuron cell bodies in the ventral horns of the gray matter within the spinal cord. General visceral efferent fiber and general somatic efferent fiber are Neuroanatomy stubs.

See General visceral efferent fiber and General somatic efferent fiber

General visceral afferent fiber

The general visceral afferent (GVA) fibers conduct sensory impulses (usually pain or reflex sensations) from the internal organs, glands, and blood vessels to the central nervous system.

See General visceral efferent fiber and General visceral afferent fiber

Gland

A gland is a cell or an organ in an animal's body that produces and secretes different substances either into the bloodstream or into a body cavity or outer surface that the organism needs.

See General visceral efferent fiber and Gland

Glossopharyngeal nerve

The glossopharyngeal nerve, also known as the ninth cranial nerve, cranial nerve IX, or simply CN IX, is a cranial nerve that exits the brainstem from the sides of the upper medulla, just anterior (closer to the nose) to the vagus nerve. General visceral efferent fiber and glossopharyngeal nerve are autonomic nervous system.

See General visceral efferent fiber and Glossopharyngeal nerve

Motor nerve

A motor nerve, or efferent nerve, is a nerve that contains exclusively efferent nerve fibers and transmits motor signals from the central nervous system (CNS) to the muscles of the body.

See General visceral efferent fiber and Motor nerve

Oculomotor nerve

The oculomotor nerve, also known as the third cranial nerve, cranial nerve III, or simply CN III, is a cranial nerve that enters the orbit through the superior orbital fissure and innervates extraocular muscles that enable most movements of the eye and that raise the eyelid. General visceral efferent fiber and oculomotor nerve are autonomic nervous system.

See General visceral efferent fiber and Oculomotor nerve

Preganglionic nerve fibers

In the autonomic nervous system, nerve fibers from the central nervous system to the ganglion are known as preganglionic nerve fibers. General visceral efferent fiber and preganglionic nerve fibers are autonomic nervous system and Neuroanatomy stubs.

See General visceral efferent fiber and Preganglionic nerve fibers

Smooth muscle

Smooth (soft) muscle is one of the three major types of vertebrate muscle tissue, the other being skeletal and cardiac muscle.

See General visceral efferent fiber and Smooth muscle

Special visceral efferent fibers

Special visceral efferent fibers (SVE) are the efferent nerve fibers that provide motor innervation to the muscles of the pharyngeal arches in humans, and the branchial arches in fish. General visceral efferent fiber and Special visceral efferent fibers are Neuroanatomy stubs.

See General visceral efferent fiber and Special visceral efferent fibers

Vagus nerve

The vagus nerve, also known as the tenth cranial nerve, cranial nerve X, or simply CN X, is a cranial nerve that carries sensory fibers that create a pathway that interfaces with the parasympathetic control of the heart, lungs, and digestive tract. General visceral efferent fiber and vagus nerve are autonomic nervous system.
