Descriptor fibras parasimpáticas posganglionares
Entry term(s) fibras parasimpáticas postganglionares
Scope note: Fibras nerviosas que se proyectan desde los ganglios parasimpáticos hasta la sinapsis de los órganos diana. Las fibras parasimpáticas posganglionares utilizan la acetilcolina como transmisor. También pueden liberar péptidos cotransmisores.

Scope note: Nerve fibers which project from parasympathetic ganglia to synapses on target organs. Parasympathetic postganglionic fibers use acetylcholine as transmitter. They may also release peptide cotransmitters.
