Autonomic Nervous System

Review of the autonomic nervous system, comparing the divisions, the neurotransmitters and the receptors. The ANS can be a nightmare, so let's get down to basics here... RELAX! Let your parasympathetic division take over and watch this video!

OMG i love you!!! now i see the light

So why do we have ganglion in the ANS unlike the somatic?

@TheNUTRO247

One neuron can talk to more than one other neurons, therefore exciting and/or inhibiting multiple neurons at once. :)

@re1ntyes Actually it is an answer, maybe not as thorough as you would like it to be, but that's subjective

[re1ntyes]

@CzarThePlezer That is not much of an answer... Saying that it is so because the other pathway doesn't have it does not clarify anything: couldn't the preganglionic neurons just synapse directly onto the post~ ? And if not, why not. That is the question. For an answer, see TimmysMummy's answer below.
