Figure 25-1. Sympathetic outflow from the spinal cord and the course and distribution of sympathetic fibers. The preganglionic fibers are in blue; postganglionic fibers are red and purple. (From Pick.)
Figure 25-2. The parasympathetic (craniosacral) division of the autonomic nervous system. Preganglionic fibers extend from nuclei of the brainstem and sacral segments of the spinal cord to peripheral ganglia. Short postganglionic fibers extend from the ganglia to the effector organs. The lateral-posterior hypothalamus is part of the supranuclear mechanism for the regulation of parasympathetic activities. The frontal and limbic parts of the supranuclear regulatory apparatus are not indicated in the diagram (see text).
