At an organ or effector that is innervated by both the SNS and PSNS, what is the typical type of response to stimulation by these nervous systems?Multiple choice question.One would inhibit the organ and one would activate the organ.Both would inhibit the organ.Both would activate the organ.The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems never innervate the same organ/effector.

Solution
The typical response to stimulation by both the Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS) and Parasympathetic Nervous System (PSNS) at an organ or effector that is innervated by both would be that one would inhibit the organ and one would activate the organ. This is because the SNS and PSNS often have opposing effects. For example, the SNS typically prepares the body for 'fight or flight' responses, such as increasing heart rate, while the PSNS typically promotes 'rest and digest' responses, such as decreasing heart rate.
