Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system is characterized by having terminal ganglia that are located near, or within, the organs they innervate (the visceral effectors), allowing for precise control of those organs. This is in contrast to the sympathetic division, which has longer postganglionic neurons that can affect multiple organs simultaneously.
