Question

The ANS is subdivided into sympathetic and parasympathetic divisionsReview the differences between these two divisions by filling in the table below:

Characteristic Sympathetic or Parasympathetic?
Calms you down — "rest and digest"                           ["", ""]           
Pumps you up — "fight or flight"                           ["", ""]           
Preganglionic neuron long, postganglionic neuron short                           ["", ""]           
Preganglionic neuron short, postganglionic neuron long                           ["", ""]           
Arises from cranial or sacral spinal nerves                           ["", ""]           
Arises from spinal nerves T1-L2                           ["", ""]           
Synapses near the spinal cord                           ["", ""]           
Synapses near the target organ                           ["", ""]           
Increases heart and respiratory rate                           ["", ""]           
Stimulates digestive and urinary systems                           ["", ""]           
Neurons travel through cranial or pelvic nerves                           ["", ""]           
Neurons travel through spinal, sympathetic, or splanchnic nerves                           ["", ""]
