The nervous system derivative which works on involuntary effectors, such as cardiac and smooth muscle, and glands. Usually consists of 2 neurones connected by a ganglion. Neurotransmitter released can be stimulatory or inhibitory
1 of 20
Somatic
The nervous system derivative which works on voluntary effectors like skeletal striated muscle. Usually consists of one motor neuron from spinal cord to effector. Neurotransmitter is always stimulatory, and it is always acetylcholine
