- A. Working
- B. Reactive
- C. Neuroparalytic
- D. Neurotonic

Hint
Ask what removal of the sympathetic ganglia does to the nerve influence that normally keeps the arterioles of the limb narrowed, and which way vessel calibre shifts.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
