Question

which of the following is not a true statement regarding the sympathetic division?
the effects are not widespread.
preganglionic neurons are located between t₁ and l₂ of the spinal cord.
preganglionic fibers are relatively short.
postganglionic fibers are long.
pns ganglia are near the vertebral column.

Explanation:

The sympathetic division is part of the autonomic nervous system. Its preganglionic neurons are located between T1 and L2 of the spinal cord. Preganglionic fibers are relatively short, postganglionic fibers are long, and PNS ganglia (sympathetic ganglia) are near the vertebral column. However, the effects of the sympathetic division are widespread (e.g., increased heart rate, dilated pupils, etc.).

Answer:

The effects are not widespread.
