Q

What types of fibers originate within each nucleus.

A

The general visceral efferent fibers originate in the EDINGER WESTPHAL nucleus located in the midbrain. The preganglionic PS fibers travel with the INFERIOR DIVISION OF CN III to synapse in the CILIARY ganglion. Post ganglionic PS fibers leave the ciliary ganglion via the SHORT CILIARY nerves to innervate the sphincter pupillae and ciliary muscles.
