Which of the following is not one of the three things that can happen to a preganglionic axon when it reaches a trunk ganglion?

The preganglionic and postganglionic axons can synapse in intramural ganglia.

Postganglionic neurons from the ciliary ganglia innervate which target?

Postganglionic neurons from the submandibular ganglia innervate which target?

The submandibular and sublingual salivary glands

Which of the following is true regarding the sympathetic versus parasympathetic nervous systems?
