  3. Axon terminal

  4. Dendrite

  5. Nodes of ranvier


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In a neuron, the dendrite receives a signal from an axon terminal of a neuron through a synapse.

Which of the following statements regarding sympathetic nervous system is incorrect?

  1. Sympathetic nervous system stimulates gut motility and urinary system output and function.

  2. Sympathetic nervous system stimulation causes vasodilation of most blood vessels in the body.

  3. Sympathetic nervous system mobilises the body in a fight-or-flight response.

  4. Sympathetic nervous system is responsible for up and down regulating of many homeostatic mechanisms of the body.
