| The peripheral nervous system includes: | cranial nerves, the spinal cord, spinal nerves, and their branches. |
| If you were to damage some of the preganglionic fibers that enter the celiac ganglion, what effect would this have on sympathetic stimulation? | Hormones secreted by the adrenal medulla may not reach the various sympathetic effectors, thus delaying the effects of sympathetic stimulatio |
