Abstract. Autonomic afferent neurons extending from visceral organs to the spinal cord and brain stem are visceral afferent components of spinal and cranial nerves. The bodies of these neurons, as well as the bodies of somatic afferent neurons, are located in the ganglia of the posterior roots. Visceral afferent nerves cross the autonomic ganglia, but do not form synapses with them and enter the spinal cord or the brainstem together with somatic afferent fibers of the same nerves. Both visceral and somatic afferents form reflex connections with the preganglionic autonomic neurons of the trunk and spinal cord. Thus, they are functionally related to them, but are not their anatomical component. Visceral afferents converge on the neurons of the optic nerve, as well as somatic nociceptive afferents
