Preganglionic parasympathetic fibers. In the Parasympathetic division, the preganglionic axons leave the ventral roots of the spinal cord and collectively form the pelvic splanchnic nerves.
D. vagus. this is the largest Cranial nerve, carrying parasympathetic information to much of the body (ie. esophagus, GI tract, heart). parasympathetic fibers, unlike sympathetic fibers, do not synapse until they are pretty much on in or near the organ. So the vagus is made up of preganglionic parasympathetics.trigeminal contains somatic afferents, and somatic efferents. neither of these are visceral efferents (which could be para or sympathetic).wikipedia tells you correctly that splanchnic nerves are generally sympathetic autonomics, except for one spot.optic nerve is carrying Afferent sensory information Away from the eye.
The preganglionic fibers of the autonomic nervous system travel through the cranial nerves (in the head) and the spinal nerves (in the rest of the body). They synapse with postganglionic neurons in autonomic ganglia before reaching their target organs.
They are called splanchnic nerves. These nerves carry preganglionic fibers to the collateral ganglia where they synapse with postganglionic neurons.
The heart is innervated by parasympathetic and sympathetic fibers.
The majority of parasympathetic fibers are found in the cranial nerves (specifically the oculomotor, facial, glossopharyngeal, and vagus nerves) and in the sacral spinal cord (S2-S4). These fibers innervate various organs such as the heart, lungs, and digestive system, promoting rest and digestion.
The parasympathetic division is also called the craniosacral division because it arises from te brain and sacral region of the spinal cord; its fibers travel in certain cranial and sacral nerves.

Yes and No. White communicating rami contain mylinated preganglionic sympathetic nerve fibers, but are only present at the levels of spinal cord segments T1-L2 (where the cell bodies for these nerve fibers exist in the lateral horn of the spinal cord). Although the sympathetic fibers only arise in the T1-L2 spinal cord segments, they are dispersed to all spinal nerves by traveling through the sympathetic chain. The preganglionic sympathetic fibers will enter the sympathetic chain thru whit rami communicans and then do one of 4 things: 1. synapse with a postganglionic cell body in the sympathetic chain at the level it enters 2. ascend within the chain to synapse 3. descend within the chain to synapse 4. splanchnic nerves leave the chain without synapsing and synapse closer to the organ they innervate.There are, however, GRAY rami communicans for all spinal nerves.I hope that helps
innervates SA and AV nodes, heart muscle, and coranary arteries through parasympathetic fibers in the vagus nerves
Parasympathetic nerves stimulate resting and digesting. Therefore, stomach activity is stimulated by parasympathetic nerves.
The bladder receives motor innervation from both sympathetic fibers, most of which arise from the hypogastric plexuses and nerves, and parasympathetic fibers, which come from the pelvic splanchnic nerves and the inferior hypogastric plexus. Ahmed Urbizo
