Enclosed bundles of peripheral axons in PNS.
What are nerves.
The region of the CNS that sympathetic nerves & parasympathetic nerves arise from.
What is the thorax and lumbar region of the spinal cord. & brainstem and sacral region of the spinal cord.
The 6 muscles that control eye movement.

Three paired structures of the diencephalon.
What are thalamus, hypothalamus, epithalamus.
Rami communicantes.
Gray or white rami that connect the ventral rami of the spinal nerves to the sympathetic trunk.
Muscle responsible for dampening the sound during chewing.
Tensor tympani
The cells of the adrenal medulla that secrete epinephrine & norepinephrine.
What are chromaffin cells

What is lateral ventricle - interventricular foramina-third ventricle-cerebral aqueduct-fourth ventricle
The neural pathway leading to the innervation of the adrenal medulla.
Sympathetic pre-ganglionic fibers exiting from the ventral root enter the sympathetic trunk via the white ramus communicante, and then continue out to the thoracic splanchnic nerve to innervate the adrenal medulla cells directly to secrete epinephrine into the blood stream

The hormones secreted by the pancreas that balance blood sugar levels.
Insulin & glucagon
