The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Which of the following organs/structures lacks innervation from the parasympathetic nervous system?", we will analyze each option provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Question**: The question asks which organ or structure does not receive nerve supply from the parasympathetic nervous system. The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for rest-and-digest functions and innervates various organs. 2. **Evaluate the First Option - Erector Muscles**: - Erector muscles, specifically referring to the muscles that control the movement of hair follicles (erector pili muscles), are primarily innervated by the sympathetic nervous system. - **Conclusion**: Erector pili muscles lack innervation from the parasympathetic nervous system. 3. **Evaluate the Second Option - Erector Pili Muscles**: - As stated above, these muscles do not receive parasympathetic innervation. They are controlled by sympathetic fibers. - **Conclusion**: This option is correct as they lack parasympathetic innervation. 4. **Evaluate the Third Option - Liver**: - The liver is innervated by both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The parasympathetic innervation comes from the vagus nerve. - **Conclusion**: The liver does not lack parasympathetic innervation. 5. **Evaluate the Fourth Option - Salivary Glands**: - Salivary glands receive innervation from both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The parasympathetic innervation is primarily through the facial nerve (VII) and glossopharyngeal nerve (IX). - **Conclusion**: Salivary glands do not lack parasympathetic innervation. 6. **Final Conclusion**: - Based on the evaluations, the only structure that lacks innervation from the parasympathetic nervous system is the **Erector Pili Muscles**. ### Answer: The correct answer is **Erector Pili Muscles**.
