Which statements are correct concerning the parasympathetic division of the ANS? a: Preganglionic neuron cell bodies are located in brainstem nuclei b: Preganglionic neuron cell bodies are located in the lateral horns of the T1-L2 regions c: It participates in the "fight-or-flight" response d: It maintains homeostasis e: Preganglionic neuron cell bodies are located in the sacral region of the spinal cord

a) option is correct

Explanation:

The parasympathetic nervous system is a division of the autonomic nervous system that controls the internal body organs in resting state

It is active all the time and promotes life by regulating the vital body functions, although the person is unconscious about all these processesThe parasympathetic system also has two types of nerve fibers: Pre-ganglionic nerve fibers: These nerve fibers originate from the central nervous system and terminate at the ganglia of the parasympathetic nervous systemPost-ganglionic nerve fibers: They originate from the ganglia of the parasympathetic nervous system and terminate at the target organs, the post-ganglionic fibers are short in case of the parasympathetic system because the ganglia are present near the target organsThere are different processes in the body that are under the control of parasympathetic nervous system, namely, blood pressure, heart rate, respiration, digestion and urination
