Poster showing the pathways of the parasympathetic and the sympathetic systems and the anatomy of the spinal nerves.This chart shows the anatomy of the autonomic nervous system, including sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves, which provide the involuntary functioning part of the nervous system that controls the internal organs of the body. The sympathetic and parasympathetic systems work in opposition to each other to control cardiac muscles, smooth muscles, and glands. The autonomic nervous system poster shows the following anatomical information:
the pathways of both the parasympathetic and the sympathetic systems. labeled lines leading from the spinal nerve to the ganglia and the corresponding organ. the spinal cord, spinal nerves and the organs affected a detailed cross section of the human torso and head shows the spinal nerves.
All nerves are labeled. An ideal chart for learning or explaining the anatomy of the autonomic nervous system. Lamination ensures protection of the surface of the chart and allows for annotation using a marker pen (not supplied). The Autonomic Nervous System Anatomical Chart is also available in paper format.
