Summary Introduction

To review:

The differences between sympathetic and parasympathetic system in terms of location and distribution of their nerves.

Introduction:

The nervous system in the body is associated with the control and coordination of all activities. The autonomic division of peripheral nervous system participates in the regulation of all involuntary actions of the body. The volunatary actions of the body are controlled by the somatic division 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.
List the activities of sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.
Match the following statements about anatomy to the correct division of the autonomic nervous system.  Select "Both" if the statement or effect is true of both divisions. Innervate(s) most major organs of the body. Innervate(s) most blood vessels. Most effector pathways involve two neurons. The vagus cranial nerve carries these fibers. ANSWER OPTIONS: Parasympathetic, Sympathetic, BOTH
