Broader concept

Note

  • do not confuse with SYMPATHETIC FIBERS, POSTGANGLIONIC

Scope note

  • Nerve fibers which project from parasympathetic ganglia to synapses on target organs. Parasympathetic postganglionic fibers use acetylcholine as transmitter. They may also release peptide cotransmitters.
