What is another word for preganglionic?
Pronunciation: [pɹɪɡˌaŋɡlɪˈɒnɪk] (IPA) 
Preganglionic neurons are nerve cells that transmit information from the central nervous system (CNS) to ganglia, which are clusters of nerve cells outside the CNS. There are several synonyms for the word "preganglionic," which include pre- and post-synaptic neurons, pre-synaptic fibers, and pre-ganglionic fibers. Preganglionic neurons are essential components of the autonomic nervous system, controlling involuntary functions such as heart rate, digestion, and breathing. These neurons release acetylcholine into the synapse, which activates the post-ganglionic neuron to release norepinephrine and other neurotransmitters. Synonyms of preganglionic neurons are often used in medical terminology and scientific research to describe these important neural pathways and their function in the body.
