And the post ganglionic neuron then carries that electric signal to some type of target organ or target cell known as our effector or effector organ. So the post ganglionic neurons are the cells that synapse or connect with the pre ganglionic neurons coming from the central nervous system. And this takes place within the autonomic division of the peripheral nervous system. So post ganglylionic cells carry those electric signals and extend to the effect their organ, whatever it might be. It could be a muscle, it could be some type of organ, it could be a tissue and so forth. So let's take a look at the following simple reflex arc.
