Summary of the Fiber Composition of Peripheral Nerves
I.
Nerve Fibers and the Locations of their Nerve Cells of Origin
The peripheral nervous system is made up of all parts of the nervous system except the
brain and spinal cord, which make up the central nervous system. The peripheral
nervous system consists of 1) the cranial nerves, 2) the spinal nerves, 3) the autonomic
nervous system. In the PNS all of the nerve fibers come from nerve cells in only four
different general locations. They are as follows:
1. Ganglia on cranial and spinal nerves- source of AFFERENT (sensory fibers).
[Afferent= conducting toward the CNS]
2. The ventral gray column and equivalent nuclei in the brain- source of EFFERENT
(motor) FIBERS TO SKELETAL MUSCLE. [Efferent= conducting away from the
CNS].
3. The Intermediolateral cell column and cranial and sacral equivalents- source of
PREGANGLIONIC EFFERENT fibers to autonomic ganglia.
4. Autonomic ganglia- source of POSTGANGLIONIC EFFERENT fibers to smooth
muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands.
Therefore, there are basically only four different types of nerve fibers in the peripheral
nervous system, one afferent and three efferent. Although some of these four basic
types can be subdivided, using such terms as special and general, somatic and visceral,
we will not do so here. Because of their atypical nature, cranial nerves I and II are
omitted from the following discussion of fiber types.
A. AFFERENT FIBERS- cells are located in ganglia on cranial and spinal nerves. Excluding
cranial nerves I and II, all afferent fibers in the PNS come from one of the following
ganglia:
Nerves Containing afferent fibers

muscles of mastication)

VII. Facial
VIII. Vestibulocochlear
IX. Glossopharyngeal
X. Vagus

B. EFFERENT FIBERS TO SKELETAL MUSCLE- cells are located in the ventral gray
column of the spinal cord and in equivalent nuclei (collections of nerve cells) in the
brainstem. All efferent fibers to skeletal muscle come from one of the following places:

C. PREGANGLIONIC EFFERENT FIBERS- cells of origin are located in the
Intermediolateral cell column of the thoracic and upper lumbar segments of the spinal cord
and in equivalent nuclei in the brain stem and in the sacral spinal cord. All preganglionic
efferent fibers come from one of the following places:
Nerve containing preganglionic efferent
fibers

the sacral spinal cord)

D. POSTGANGLIONIC EFFERENT FIBERS- cells of origin are located in autonomic
ganglia. These cells all receive the terminations of preganglionic efferent fibers from cells
in one of the locations listed in C) above. All postganglionic efferent fibers come from
cells in one of the following ganglia:
Source of preganglionic Efferent fibers
to ganglion
Name of ganglion containing cell bodies
of postganglionic efferent fibers
Nucleus of Edinger-Westphal
Superior Salivatory Nucleus
Superior Salivatory Nucleus

Ciliary
Pterygopalatine
Submandibular
Otic

to splenic flexure of colon)
Sympathetic (ganglia of sympathetic trunk +
collateral or Prevertebral ganglia) + cells in
adrenal medulla
Terminal (in organs of pelvis + descending colon)
Intermediolateral Cell Column
Sacral autonomic nucleus
Postganglionic efferent fibers terminate peripherally in smooth muscle, cardiac muscle,
or glands. The peripheral terminations of postganglionic efferent fibers are as follows:
Locations of Cell Bodies
Peripheral Termination
*Ciliary Ganglion
*Pterygopalatine ganglion
Ciliary muscle + sphincter pupillae
Lacrimal gland + glands of the nasal cavity and
the palate
Submandibular gland + sublingual gland
Parotid Gland
Cardiac muscle, smooth muscle of coronary
arteries, smooth muscle of bronchi, smooth
muscle and glands of alimentary canal down to
splenic flexure
Dilator pupillae, smooth muscle in blood vessels,
smooth muscle in hair follicles (arrector pili),
sweat glands, cardiac muscle, smooth muscle of
viscera (generally inhibitory except for sphincters)
Smooth muscle and glands in descending colon
and pelvic viscera
*Submandibular Ganglion
*Otic Ganglion
*Terminal Ganglia
Sympathetic Ganglia
*Terminal Ganglia (sacral)
* Note: The pre and postganglionic efferent fibers associated with the Ciliary, Pterygopalatine,
Submandibular, otic, and terminal ganglia make up what is known as the parasympathetic
division of the Autonomic nervous system. This division is also called the craniosacral
division because of the preganglionic nerve cells are located in either the brainstem or the
sacral spinal cord and their fibers are distributed through either cranial (III, VII, IX, X) or
sacral (S2, S3, or S4) nerves. The sympathetic (thoracolumbar) division of the ANS is made up
of the pre and postganglionic efferent fibers associated with the sympathetic ganglia.
