Verified step by step guidance

Understand the autonomic plexuses: These are networks of nerves that regulate involuntary functions of the body, such as heart rate, digestion, and respiratory rate. They consist of both sympathetic and parasympathetic components.

Review the role of sympathetic ganglia: Sympathetic ganglia are clusters of nerve cell bodies that are part of the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system. They are directly involved in transmitting signals within autonomic plexuses.

Eliminate irrelevant options: Tendons, skeletal muscle fibers, and the epidermis are not part of the autonomic nervous system. Tendons connect muscles to bones, skeletal muscle fibers are involved in voluntary movement, and the epidermis is the outermost layer of skin.

Focus on the correct option: Sympathetic ganglia are integral to autonomic plexuses because they relay signals from the central nervous system to target organs, enabling autonomic control.

Conclude that sympathetic ganglia are the correct answer based on their functional and anatomical relevance to autonomic plexuses.
