What component of the ANS is characterized by ganglion located in or near effector organs?
The component of the ANS that is characterized by ganglion located in or near effector organs is called the parasympathetic nervous system. The ganglia of the parasympathetic nervous system are located close to or within the target organs they innervate, allowing for direct and localized control of bodily functions. This branch of the autonomic nervous system is responsible for promoting rest, digestion, and relaxation.
Tiny organs within a cell are called?
organelles
Are the kidneys anatomically located ventrally within the abdomen?
The kidneys are located behind (posterior to) the abdominal cavity, in the retroperotoneum.Yes, the kidneys are located outside of the peritoneal cavity. In anatomy, they are referred to as being "retroperitoneal".No. Unlike the other abdominal organs, the kidneys lie behind the peritoneum that lines the abdominal cavity and are thus considered to be retroperitoneal organs.Yes

What major structures are located within the mediastinum of a human?

Where are the lungs located?
The lungs are the essential organs of respiration; they are two in number, placed one on either side within the thorax, and separated from each other by the heart and other contents of the mediastinum (Fig. 970). The substance of the lung is of a light, porous, spongy texture; it floats in water, and crepitates when handled, owing to the presence of air in the alveoli; it is also highly elastic; hence the retracted state of these organs when they are removed from the closed cavity of the thorax. The surface is smooth, shining, and marked out into numerous polyhedral areas, indicating the lobules of the organ: each of these areas is crossed by numerous lighter lines. 1
