The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the characteristics of the sympathetic nervous system, we will analyze each statement one by one: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement 1: Acetylcholine as neurosecretion** - The sympathetic nervous system primarily uses norepinephrine as its neurotransmitter at the postganglionic synapse, while acetylcholine is primarily associated with the parasympathetic nervous system. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. 2. **Statement 2: Fight or flight activities** - The sympathetic nervous system is well-known for its role in the "fight or flight" response, which prepares the body to respond to stressful situations. This statement is **correct**. 3. **Statement 3: Longer preganglionic fibres** - In the sympathetic nervous system, the preganglionic fibers are actually shorter compared to the postganglionic fibers. This statement is **incorrect**. 4. **Statement 4: Non-medullated postganglionic fibres** - The postganglionic fibers of the sympathetic nervous system are indeed non-myelinated (non-medullated). This statement is **correct**. 5. **Statement 5: Arising from thoracic-lumbar portion** - The sympathetic nervous system originates from the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spinal cord (T1 to L2). This statement is **correct**. ### Conclusion: Based on the analysis: - **Correct Statements**: 2, 4, and 5 - **Incorrect Statements**: 1 and 3 Thus, the correct answer is **Option B: 2, 4, and 5**. ---
