Preganglionic neuron

…That is, at least one other autonomic neuron is interposed between the central nervous system and the effector organ, and such a collection of autonomic neurons is called an autonomic ganglion. Autonomic nerve origin neurons with cell bodies in the central nervous system are called preganglionic neurons, and their axons are called preganglionic fibers. Neurons with cell bodies in the autonomic ganglion are called postganglionic neurons, and their axons are called postganglionic fibers. Preganglionic neurons that synapse with postganglionic neurons in the autonomic ganglion are acetylcholineergic neurons that use acetylcholine as a chemical transmitter, while postganglionic neurons that directly connect to effector organs are either acetylcholineergic or noradrenergic. …
