Preganglionic neuron: originates in brain or spinal cord. Postganglionic neuron: in ganglion outside cns; axon to e ector organ. Keeps body"s energy use low while regulating household activities; decreases heart rate. Blood vessels in state of partial vasoconstriction. Regulation of contractile ability of smooth muscle of gi and urinary tracts. Pns: dilation of blood vessels in penis. Sns: ejaculation, re ex peristalsis of female"s vagina. Kidneys; renin released will increase blood pressure. Relative lengths of pre- and post-ganglionic bres.
