In the sympathetic nervous system, the spread of information occurs from one neuronal pool to multiple neuronal pools. This allows for a broad distribution of a specific input. Therefore, what type of neural circuit is the sympathetic nervous system exhibiting?

Answer:

divergent neural pathway

Step-by-step explanation:

The divergent neural pathway is also known as the amplifier circuit, and it occurs when a stimulus leaves a single neuron but spreads to several other neurons, ie there is only one input but several outputs. In other words, we can say that the divergent neural pathway allows a wide distribution of a specific input.

The divergent neural pathway is extremely important, for example, for the breathing process, because if a problem occurs in one of the stimulus pathways and the message does not reach the effector organ, there are several other conduction pathways for this same physiological response, which is the process of breathing, and so one does not stop breathing.
