Article Snippet: The visceral (or autonomic) motor system controls involuntary functions that are regulated by the activity of smooth muscle fibers, cardiac muscle fibers and glands.. The two major divisions include the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems.. The control of both divisions is modulated by inputs from the hypothalamus to preganglionic neurons in the brainstem and spinal cord, which in turn determine the activity of the primary visceral motor neurons in autonomic ganglia.
