Which of the following characteristics is similar between the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches for most neurons? a. Receptor type on the target tissues b. Site of origin of the nerves c. Neurotransmitter is secreted from the postganglionic neuron. d. Neurotransmitter is secreted from the preganglionic neuron.

Answer: The answer to the questions is: Neurotransmitter is secreted from the preganglionic neuron

Explanation:

The parasympathetic nervous system works slower and is usually in charge of resting, digesting function, among others. Therefore, neurotransmitters are secreted from the preganglionic neurons and sent to a desired organ. They create synapse and gets the desired response.

On the other hand, the sympathetic nervous system is in charge of actions that require a fast response. If the body senses that it is in a dangerous situation, it will release adrenaline until it senses that the danger is gone. The sympathetic nervous system is in charge of release hormones and adrenaline to the bloodstream and then the parasympathetic nervous system is in charge of balancing it all out once the dangerous situation is over.
