Many authors refer to the CNS portion of the reflex arc as the integration center.

In regards to a monosynaptic reflex arc, the synapse is the only portion of the integration center.

Polysynaptic reflex arcs, have multiple synapses and interneuron(s).

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.


The portion of the nervous system away from the central nervous system?

The peripheral nervous system is the portion of the nervous system away from the central nervous system. It consists of nerves that connect the central nervous system to the rest of the body, including sensory and motor neurons. The peripheral nervous system is responsible for transmitting information to and from the central nervous system.
