Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is characterized by long preganglionic axons and short postganglionic axons, with terminal ganglia located close to or within the target organ. This division does not have rami communicantes and has craniosacral origins. Therefore, having long postganglionic axons is not characteristic of the parasympathetic division; it is a feature of the sympathetic division.
