Final answer:

Visceral motor neurons in the CNS send axons to synapse on peripherally located ganglionic neurons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Visceral motor neurons in the CNS send axons to synapse on peripherally located ganglionic neurons. These neurons have cell bodies in the ventral gray matter of the spinal cord and project to muscles through the ventral root. They are stimulated by interneurons within the spinal cord or directly by sensory neurons.
