Compare and contrast the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system. Include information about pre- and post-ganglionic neurons, the neurotransmitters involved, and the typical response at each of the following effectors: adrenal medulla, arterioles, sweat glands, and the heart.

Which of the following is a difference between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems? - Norepinephrine is released exclusively from post ganglionic fibers in the sympathetic system. - The adrenal gland enhances responses from the parasympathetic system. - The sympathetic system nerves exit the spinal cord in the cervical region of the vertebral column. - Postganglionic fibers are longer in the parasympathetic system. - All of these are differences in the autonomic nervous system.
