Respuesta :
The postganglionic sympathetic nerve pathway; option(c), is responsible for activating the esophagus, heart, lungs, and thoracic blood vessels.
What is the pathway of the sympathetic nervous system?
Preganglionic neurons found in the intermediolateral columns of the spinal cord, from the thoracic to mid-lumbar levels, are the exit points for sympathetic pathways from the central nervous system.
Postganglionic neurons connect with preganglionic axons at the sympathetic chain ganglia. After exiting the sympathetic chain ganglia through a gray ramus communicans (unmyelinated axons), the postganglionic neuron rejoins the spinal nerve and travels to the skin and blood vessels all over the body.
An inhibitory input to the smooth muscle in the body of the bladder, an excitatory input to the smooth muscle in the urethra, and an inhibitory and facilitatory input to the vesical parasympathetic ganglia are all provided by sympathetic postganglionic nerves that produce norepinephrine.
