pósganglionares

Pósganglionares refers to structures or events that occur after a ganglion. In neuroscience, ganglia are clusters of nerve cell bodies, often acting as relay points for signals within the nervous system. Therefore, pósganglionares would describe elements situated or happening along the pathway of a nerve impulse following its passage through a ganglion. This could include the nerve fibers that emerge from the ganglion, the target tissues or organs these fibers innervate, or the physiological effects that manifest after the neural signal has been processed by the ganglion.

The term is not commonly used as a standalone concept but rather as a descriptive qualifier in specific anatomical or physiological contexts. For example, one might discuss pósganglionares neurons, which are the neurons whose cell bodies reside within the ganglion and whose axons extend to effector organs. Similarly, pósganglionares transmission refers to the communication process that takes place at the synapse between a neuron originating from a ganglion and its target cell. Understanding pósganglionares components is crucial for comprehending the complete neural circuitry and function of systems involving autonomic ganglia, such as the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The function and characteristics of pósganglionares structures are determined by the type of neurotransmitter released and the receptors present on the post-synaptic membrane.
