Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nerve networks that include both sympathetic and parasympathetic fibers are part of the autonomic nervous system. These structures are called autonomic plexuses, as opposed to somatic plexuses (which only contain somatic nerves). Ganglia are clusters of nerve cell bodies, not networks of fibers. Central plexuses are not a recognized term in the context of nerve networks. Therefore, the best choice is C, autonomic plexuses.
