Distinguish between the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system.
In the sympathetic division of the autonomic
nervous system:
Select one:
The ratio between the number of
postganglionic and preganglionic neurons
is small.
A single preganglionic neuron usually
synapses with a single postganglionic
neuron.
An important functional characteristic is
convergence of the preganglionic fibers.
Preganglionic fibers are usually much longer
than the postganglionic fibers.
Activity of the neurons tends to have a more
generalized and widespread effect on the
body.
Compare and contrast the effects of the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system
