Autonomic nervous system Overview

The video provides an overview of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), focusing on its sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. It explains the 2-neuron pathway pattern, detailing the preganglionic and postganglionic neurons. The embryological development of the ANS is discussed, highlighting the role of neural crest cells in forming peripheral nerve ganglia. The video also covers the functions of the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, including their effects on cardiac and smooth muscle.
