Which statement most accurately describe the synapses between pre- and postganglionic neurons?Multiple choice question.All preganglionic fibers that exit the spinal cord synapse with a postganglionic neuron in the closest paravertebral ganglion.All preganglionic fibers that exit the spinal cord synapse with a postganglionic neuron in a paravertebral ganglion although not necessarily the closest one.Some preganglionic fibers that exit the spinal cord synapse with a postganglionic neuron in a paravertebral ganglion while others pass through a paravertebral ganglion and synapse with a postganglionic neuron within a collateral ganglion.
Question
Which statement most accurately describe the synapses between pre- and postganglionic neurons?Multiple choice question.All preganglionic fibers that exit the spinal cord synapse with a postganglionic neuron in the closest paravertebral ganglion.All preganglionic fibers that exit the spinal cord synapse with a postganglionic neuron in a paravertebral ganglion although not necessarily the closest one.Some preganglionic fibers that exit the spinal cord synapse with a postganglionic neuron in a paravertebral ganglion while others pass through a paravertebral ganglion and synapse with a postganglionic neuron within a collateral ganglion.
Solution
The statement that most accurately describes the synapses between pre- and postganglionic neurons is: "Some preganglionic fibers that exit the spinal cord synapse with a postganglionic neuron in a paravertebral ganglion while others pass through a paravertebral ganglion and synapse with a postganglionic neuron within a collateral ganglion." This is because not all preganglionic fibers synapse with a postganglionic neuron in the closest paravertebral ganglion, and not all synapse in a paravertebral ganglion at all. Some pass through and synapse within a collateral ganglion.
