"The extrinsic supply is from parasympathetic (from the vagus nerve) and sympathetic nerves to form both the superficial and deep cardiac plexuses, which provide post-ganglionic fibres to the sinoatrial (SA) and atrioventricular (AV) nodes, as well as other parts of the cardiac conduction system."

Line 3:193 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'post-ganglionic'.

"pre-ganglionic fibres from T1-5 spinal cord segments synapse in cervical and thoracic sympathetic ganglia"

Line 8:8 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'pre-ganglionic'.

"post-ganglionic fibres from these ganglia (cervical cardiac nerves and thoracic cardiac branches) then supply the cardiac plexus"

Line 9:8 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'post-ganglionic'.

"pre-ganglionic fibres from the dorsal motor nucleus travel with the vagus nerve (CN X) and directly supply the cardiac plexus"

Line 14:12 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'pre-ganglionic'.
