The cell body of which of the following is located in the CNS and its axon synapses with the autonomic ganglion?Multiple choice question.Preganglionic neuronInterneuronPostganglionic neuron
Solution
The correct answer is Preganglionic neuron.
Here's the step by step explanation:
-
The Central Nervous System (CNS) consists of the brain and spinal cord.
-
The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) is a part of the peripheral nervous system and it controls the body functions that occur below the level of consciousness, like heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, etc. It has two types of neurons: preganglionic and postganglionic.
-
The preganglionic neurons have their cell bodies in the CNS (either in the brain or the spinal cord). They send their axons out to synapse with the autonomic ganglion in the peripheral nervous system.
-
The postganglionic neurons have their cell bodies in the autonomic ganglia and send their axons to the effector organs (like heart, lungs, etc).
-
Interneurons are found entirely within the CNS and they connect sensory and motor neurons.
So, the cell body of the preganglionic neuron is located in the CNS and its axon synapses with the autonomic ganglion.
