The vagus nerve is one of the twelve cranial nerves.
The large intestine is primarily innervated by the autonomic nervous system, specifically the vagus nerve (cranial nerve X) for the proximal part, and by the pelvic splanchnic nerves (S2-S4) for the distal part. The vagus nerve supplies the cecum, ascending colon, and part of the transverse colon, while the pelvic splanchnic nerves innervate the descending colon, sigmoid colon, and rectum. Additionally, sensory fibers from the inferior mesenteric ganglion contribute to the innervation.

No. The vagus nerve is in the parasympathetic system
The vagus nerve is parasympathetic.
The gallbladder is primarily innervated by the vagus nerve (cranial nerve X), which provides parasympathetic stimulation. Additionally, sympathetic innervation comes from the celiac plexus, particularly through the greater splanchnic nerve. This dual innervation helps regulate gallbladder contraction and bile release.

vagus nerve and sympathetic fibers
D. vagus. this is the largest Cranial nerve, carrying parasympathetic information to much of the body (ie. esophagus, GI tract, heart). parasympathetic fibers, unlike sympathetic fibers, do not synapse until they are pretty much on in or near the organ. So the vagus is made up of preganglionic parasympathetics.trigeminal contains somatic afferents, and somatic efferents. neither of these are visceral efferents (which could be para or sympathetic).wikipedia tells you correctly that splanchnic nerves are generally sympathetic autonomics, except for one spot.optic nerve is carrying Afferent sensory information Away from the eye.
The vagus nerve is the 10th cranial nerve, also known as cranial nerve X.
