Hello,

Got a test Monday so I need some help please.

I know what parasympathetic and sympathetic nerves do but I'm not sure on where they come from. It's a bit confusing.

Can anyone shed some light?

Thanks,

I think you mean the "autonomic" nervous system. You should know that word before the test

autonomic nervous system (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=%22autonomic+nervous+system%22)

Sympathetic nervous system (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Sympathetic+nervous+system)

parasympathetic nervous system (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=parasympathetic+nervous+system)

Nerves originate from the brain and spinal cord
