The organs of our body (viscera), such as the heart, intestines and stomach, are regulated by a branch of the nervous system known as the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system is part of the peripheral nervous system and controls the function of many muscles, glands and organs within the body.
The contraction of both smooth muscle and cardiac muscle is controlled by motor neurons of the autonomic system. 1  The first, the preganglionic neurons, arise in the CNS and run to a ganglion in the body.2  postganglionic neurons, which run to the effector organ (cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, or a gland). 3  sympathetic nervous system and the. 4  parasympathe contraction of both smooth muscle and cardiac muscle is controlled by motor neurons of the autonomic system. 1  The first, the preganglionic neurons, arise in the CNS and run to a ganglion in the body. 2  Here they synapse with.
