Where Do Autonomic Postganglionic Neurons Originate

Question

Where do autonomic postganglionic neurons originate?
A)hindbrain
B)gray matter of spinal cord
C)peripheral ganglia
D)All apply.

Accepted Answer

Autonomic postganglion neurons originate in the peripheral ganglia, not in the central nervous system structures like the hindbrain or spinal cord gray matter. These neurons are part of the autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary body functions, and their cell bodies are located outside the central nervous system in ganglia.
