the autonomic nervous system (select all that apply):
is part of the peripheral nervous system
is part of the central nervous system
includes the parasympathetic nervous system
includes the sympathetic nervous system
For the first question, an axon is a single long projection of a nerve cell that conducts electrical impulses (action potentials) away from the cell body (soma) toward other neurons, muscles, or glands. Neurons typically have only one axon, and the nucleus is located in the cell body, not the axon.
For the second question, the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a functional division of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) that supplies internal organs. It is further divided into two main branches: the sympathetic nervous system (responsible for "fight or flight" responses) and the parasympathetic nervous system (responsible for "rest and digest" activities).
