Question

The parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system:

• A. arises from the cranial and sacral spinal cord segments
• B. is concerned with conserving and restoring energy H
• C. has ganglia near or within visceral effectors
• D. all of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

all of the above

The parasympathetic division of autonomic nervous system. The nerve fibres of this system arise from the brain, the cranial nerves and the sacrum of the spinal cord, the sacral nerves

The parasympathetic system is also called the rest and digest system as it stimulates digestion and assimilation

The efferent nerves of the parasympathetic nervous system form ganglia close to the visceral organs or the nerves are innervated in the visceral organs, resulting in the nerve fibers closer to the effector organs to be very short in length

So, the correct option is 'all of the above'
