Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sympathetic nervous system is considered adrenergic because it releases epinephrine (adrenaline) from the adrenal glands, which increases heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration, and triggers the fight-or-flight response.

Answer: C
 While the sympathetic nervous system is primarily adrenergic, the parasympathetic nervous system also has some adrenergic function, as it can release small amounts of epinephrine in response to stress or exercise. Therefore, both systems can be considered adrenergic to some degree.
