Post ganglionic sympathetic cholinergic innervation is seen in

Solution
The correct option is B Sweat glands
In the sympathetic division, neurons are mostly adrenergic (epinephrine and norepinephrine function as the primary neurotransmitters). Two exceptions to this rule are the sympathetic innervation of sweat glands and arrectores pilorum muscles, where the neurotransmitter at both pre and postganglionic synapses is acetylcholine and the vessels in the renal cortex where dopamine is used as the main neurotransmitter. A functional cholinergic innervation of sweat glands is a prerequisite to produce and secrete sweat in most mammalian species and sweating can be potently blocked by anticholinergic agents.
