Nerve fibers of ANS

Ganglia possess two types of nerve fibers- Pre ganglionic nerve fiber and Post ganglionic nerve fiber.

Nerve fibers of ANS

Pre ganglionic nerve fiber

Nerve fiber from CNS to cells of ganglia for synapse. Pre ganglionic nerve fiber are small, myelinated with conduction velocity of 3-15 m/sec, representing class B fiber.

Post ganglionic nerve fiber

Nerve fibre from ganglia to effector organ. Post ganglionic nerve fiber are non-myelinated, small , class C fibers with conduction velocity of 0.7-2.3 m/sec.
