Parasympathetic part

The centers of the parasympathetic Nervous system are represented by the accessory Nucleus of the Oculomotor nerve, the superior and inferior salivatory nuclei, the dorsal nucleus of the Vagus nerve, and the sacral parasympathetic nuclei (nuclei parasympathici sacrales) of the 2nd–4th sacral segments of the Spinal Cord (Fig. 207). Parasympathetic fibers from the cranial nerve nuclei run as part of the III, VII, IX, and X nerves, while those from the sacral segments run as part of the pelvic splanchnic nerves.
