VISCERAL EFFERENT FIBRES

• These are myelinated fibres terminating in cardiac muscle, smooth muscle of viscera, blood vessels, hairs and glands.
• The nerve fibres form plexuses around the muscle bundles. From these plexuses fine fibres pass to individual muscle fibre.
• In glandular epithelium, the nerve fibres from plexus beneath the basement membrane through which fibres pass to end in free nerve endings on gland cells.
