- Brain
- PERIPHERAL
- Somatic
- Efferent/Motor: primary motor cortex glutamatergic UMNs > corticospinal tract > anterior horn cholinergic alpha motor neurons (LMNs) > ventral roots > peripheral nerves > nAChRs on skeletal muscles
- Afferent/Sensory: peripheral sensory receptors > peripheral nerves > dorsal roots > DCML/spinothalamic
- Autonomic
- Sympathetic
- Efferent: lateral horn cholinergic preganglionic neurons > ventral roots > white ramus communicans > nAChRs on postganglionic noradrenergic neurons in the paravertebral sympathetic chain or prevertebral ganglia > gray ramus communicans > peripheral nerves > adrenergic receptors (α1/α2, β1/β2) on target organs
- Afferent: ...
- Parasympathetic
- Efferent: cholinergic preganglionic neurons > craniosacral outflow from CN III/VII/IX, CN X, and S2-S4 > nAChRs on postganglionic cholinergic neurons in the parasympathetic/peripheral ganglia on/near target organs > (trigeminal nerve branches for efferents from CN III/VII/IX) > mAChRs on target organs
- Afferent: ...
- Sympathetic
- Enteric
- Somatic
