True or False? There may be receptors on effector organs that are NOT innervated (nerve terminals don’t synapse on them

True:Muscarinic receptors are located on vascular smooth muscle

True or False? Most effector organs are RARELY dually innervated by the sympathetic and parasympathetic fibers, and the effects
of the two systems are often AGONISTIC.
