Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An autonomic motor neuron whose cell body lies in the CNS is called a preganglionic neuron, which synapses with a postganglionic neuron that extends to the effector organ in the autonomic nervous system. Upper and lower motor neurons refer to the motor neurons in the somatic nervous system, while somatic motor neurons innervate skeletal muscles.
