A Visceral Motor Neuron Whose Cell Body is Within the CNS

Question

A visceral motor neuron whose cell body is within the CNS is called a(n)________ neuron.
A)upper motor
B)lower motor
C)preganglionic
D)postganglionic
E)somatomotor

Accepted Answer

A preganglionic neuron has its cell body within the CNS and synapses with a postganglionic neuron outside the CNS in an autonomic ganglion. The question specifies that the neuron is a visceral motor neuron, which is a type of autonomic neuron. Therefore, the choice of preganglionic neuron is most accurate.
