In Which System are the Ganglia in or near the Target

Question

In which system are the ganglia in or near the target organ?
A) sympathetic division of the ANS
B) parasympathetic division of the ANS
C) somatic nervous system
D) afferent nervous system
E) central nervous system

Accepted Answer

The ganglia in the parasympathetic division of the ANS are located in or near the target organ. This is in contrast to the sympathetic division of the ANS, where the ganglia are located closer to the spinal cord. The somatic nervous system involves voluntary control of skeletal muscles, and the afferent nervous system involves sensory neurons transmitting information from the periphery to the central nervous system. The central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord.
