Sympathetic Nervous System

Nerve innervation of the autonomic nervous system

Nerve innervation of the autonomic nervous system

The parasympathetic nervous system, shown in blue, is a division of the autonomic nervous system.

This is a diagram of how the nerves innervate the autonomic nervous system. The spinal cord is shown with the ganglia of the sympathetic nervous system (the red lines in the diagram) linked to their vertebral position and the organs they innervate. The parasympathetic nervous system, shown as blue lines, is a division of the autonomic nervous system, and is also linked to its vertebral positions and the organs it innervates.
