General visceral efferent fibers (GVE), visceral efferents or autonomic efferents are the
GVE fibers may be either sympathetic or parasympathetic.[3] Cranial and sacral spinal fibers are parasympathetic GVE fibers, while thoracic and lumbar spinal cord give rise to sympathetic GVE fibers.[4]
The cranial nerves containing GVE fibers include the oculomotor nerve (CN III), the facial nerve (CN VII), the glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX) and the vagus nerve (CN X).[5]
