Question

terminal ganglia are located near ____ and are components of the ____ division.
a target organs; sympathetic
b vertebrae; sympathetic
c target organs; parasympathetic
d target organs; somatic
e vertebrae; parasympathetic

Explanation:

Terminal ganglia are part of the parasympathetic division. In the parasympathetic nervous system, ganglia (clusters of nerve cell bodies) are located close to the target organs they innervate. In contrast, in the sympathetic division, ganglia are closer to the vertebral column. The somatic nervous system is not related to ganglia in this context as it controls voluntary muscle movements.

Answer:

C. target organs; parasympathetic
