About the Book

Authored by the same team that created Cranial Nerves, this book provides an easy-to-follow overview of autonomic nerves. The first part describes their structure and function. The second part addresses autonomic control of individual organ systems in a problem-based learning format. Throughout, Autonomic Nerves describes afferent pathways, integrating structures and mechanisms, efferent pathways, and the autonomic effectors. Principles of autonomic neurotransmission are also discussed.
