To determine the location of parasympathetic ganglia, we analyze the options:
- "In chains on either side the spinal column" describes sympathetic ganglia (like the sympathetic chain), not parasympathetic.
- "Within the medullas of endocrine glands" is incorrect; parasympathetic ganglia are not in endocrine gland medullas.
- "Within or near effector organs" matches parasympathetic anatomy: parasympathetic ganglia are typically close to or within the organs they innervate (e.g., near the heart, stomach, bladder as seen in the diagram).
