Only neurotranmitter used is acetylcholine - SympatheticParasympatheticBothNeither

Lacks ganglia -SympatheticParasympatheticBothNeither

Craniosacral - SympatheticParasympatheticBothNeither

Thoracolumbar - SympatheticParasympatheticBothNeither

Will send signals through the vagas nerve - SympatheticParasympatheticBothNeither

Can trigger vasodilation - SympatheticParasympatheticBothNeither

Does not form a synapse with the adrenal gland SympatheticParasympatheticBothNeither

Short preganglionic neuron, long postganglionic neuron - SympatheticParasympatheticBothNeither

Active after eating a meal -SympatheticParasympatheticBothNeither

Expert Solution

1.Causes heart rate to increase--Sympathetic. (Parasympathetic decreases heart rate)

2. Utilizes the neurotransmitters acetylcholine and norepinephrine--Sympathetic.

3. Only neurotransmitter used is acetylcholine---Parasympathetic.

4. Lacks ganglia--Neither.

5.Craniosacral--Parasympathetic

6.Thoracolumbar--Sympathetic.

7. Will send signals through the vagus nerve--Parasympathetic.

8.Can trigger vasodilation--Sympathetic

9. Does not form a synapse with the adrenal gland--Parasympathetic

10.Short preganglionic neuron, long postganglionic neuron--Sympathetic

11Active after eating a meal--Parasympathetic.

12.Collateral ganglia--Sympathetic.

13.Maintenance functions--Parasympathetic.

14. Increases blood pressure--Sympathetic

15. Rami communicantes--Sympathetic

16.Synapses in trunk ganglia or collateral ganglia--Sympathetic

17.Short postsynaptic fibers--Parasympathetic

18.Fibers are only found in spinal nerves--Sympathetic

19.Fibers are found in cranial or spinal nerves--Parasympathetic

20. Causes pupils to constrict---Parasympathetic( Dilation of the pupil by sympathetic.)

21. Celiac ganglion is primarily associated with this branch-- Sympathetic.

22. Triggers the release of epinephrine and norepinephrine from the adrenal gland into the blood--Sympathetic.
