A white screen displays a table outlining the main differences between somatic and visceral motor functions
A white screen displays a table outlining the main differences between somatic and visceral motor functions. Somatic effectors are skeletal muscles, controlled voluntarily with a single neuron. Visceral effectors include cardiac, smooth muscles, and glands, controlled involuntarily with two neurons. Somatic fibers are thick myelinated, distributed as nerve trunks. Visceral fibers involve a thin myelinated preganglionic neuron and an unmyelinated postganglionic neuron, distributed as nerve plexuses. A man in a white coat stands to the side of the screen.
