Which of the following statements is false?
A) Both divisions of the ANS can produce stimulatory effects.
B) Both divisions cooperate to achieve normal reproductive function.
C) Structures receiving dual innervation by the ANS are regulated equally by both divisions.
D) The sympathetic division has more influence under conditions of physical activity than does the parasympathetic division.
E) Dual innervation of organs by both divisions of the ANS is not universal.
ANS
The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) controls involuntary actions in the body, such as heart rate, digestion, and respiratory rate.
Dual Innervation
The state of being supplied by both sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves, allowing for regulation of organ function.
Stimulatory Effects
The outcomes or influences that enhance or increase the activity of biological, chemical, or physical processes.
- Become familiar with the regulation and physiological responses of autonomic reflexes, the divisions of the ANS in different physiological contexts, and how assorted substances modify these systems.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Structures receiving dual innervation by the ANS are not regulated equally by both divisions; rather, the balance of sympathetic and parasympathetic activity determines the net effect on the target organ, with one division often predominating over the other depending on the body's needs.
