Answer: The parasympathetic ganglia spread out diffusely in the vicinity of the viscera, they are located near the organ.

Step-by-step explanation:

The autonomic peripheral nervous system can be subdivided into three subsystems: sympathetic, parasympathetic and enteric system, based on anatomy and functions. Parasympathetic preganglionic neurons are located in the sacral marrow, in the segments from S2 to S4, in the intermediate-lateral column that the parasympathetic autonomic ganglia are located, very close to or in the organ itself.
