Choose the correct statement(s) about the autonomic nervous system (ANS). A) Autonomic neurons do NOT innervate skeletal muscle cells. B) Autonomic neurons do NOT innervate glands. C) The preganglionic neurons of the sympathetic nervous system are located in the thoracic region and lumbar region of the spinal cord. D) Preganglionic neurons innervate target cells or organs of the ANS. E) More than 1 above correct.
