Postganglionic neurons

A ganglion is a junction betwn two neurons in the Autonomic Nervous System in which storage,release,synthesis and degradation of the neurotransmitters are done. All neurons of the Autonomic Nervous System originate and radiate from certain vertebras on the Spinal Cord at the backbone. At the middle of each neuron there is a ganglion, before which the neuron is called a preganglionic, and after which is called a postganglionic.The postganglionic neurons are short and both of them are 'cholinergic neurons'.
