In which way are the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the autonomic system similar?Multiple ChoiceBoth utilize two neurons per message.In both, the preganglionic neuron is shorter than the postganglionic neuron.Both use norepinephrine as their neurotransmitter.Both arise from the sacral spinal nerves.Both are associated with the relaxed state (rest-and-digest).
