Comparison between tract and nerve

-
  Comparison between tract and nerve Nerve Nerve contain bundle of axons (nerve fibers) in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) that transmits signals between the central nervous system (CNS) and other parts of the body. It is the most important part of peripheral nervous system Location: Peripheral nervous system. Structure: Made of axons, connective tissue layers (endoneurium: axon is surrounded by it , perineurium: bundle of axons are surrounded by it, epineurium: whole nerve trunk is surrounded by it), and blood vessels. It gets myelination by Schwann cell   Function: Carries sensory signals to the CNS (afferent) from peripheral part of body or motor signals carry from from the CNS (efferent) to target organs like skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, smooth muscle or glands Example: Sciatic nerve, median nerve, except optic nerve (though optic nerve is technically part of CNS in develop...

Difference between greater and lesser splanchnic nerve

Difference between greater and lesser splanchnic nerve  Name Location of preganglionic neuron Sympathetic ganglion Collateral Ganglion Form autonomic Plexus Functions Greater splanchnic nerve Lateral horn of gray matter of Thoracic 5-9 spinal cord segment Thoracic 5-9 Synapse with celiac ganglion Celiac plexus   The fibers in this nerve modulate the activity   of the enteric nervous system of the foregut. They also provide the sympathetic innervation to the adrenal medulla, stimulating catecholamine release. Lesser splanchnic nerve Lateral horn of gray matter of Thoracic 10-11 spinal cord segment Thoracic   10-11 Synapse with   aortico-renal ganglion or superior mesenteric ganglion Renal plexus The nerve modulates the activity of the enteric nervous system of the midgut
