This type of nerve fibre is found in nerves supplying [[Muscles - Anatomy & Physiology#Smooth_Muscle|smooth muscle]], [[Muscles - Anatomy & Physiology#Cardiac_Muscle|cardiac muscle]] and glands. Sympathetic innervation for this type of nerve fibre comes directly from the cranial cervical ganglion. However, parasympathetic innervation comes from several cranial nerves including the oculomotor nerve (cranial nerve III), the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII), the glossopharyngeal nerve (cranial nerve IX) and the vagus nerve (cranial nerve X). Examples of where this type of fibre functions include the pupillary sphinter via the oculomotor nerve, glands of the nasal/oral cavity via the vestibulocochlear and glossopharyngeal nerves and thoracic/abdominal viscera via the vagus nerve.
