A. True Parasympathetic nerves stimulate, and sympathetic nerves inhibit, intestinal smooth muscle contractions.

B. False Both contract iris smooth muscle; however parasympathetics constrict the pupil by contracting circular muscle, sympathetics dilate it by contracting radial muscle.

C. False Skeletal muscle has no parasympathetic nerve supply; local metabolites are responsible for the vasodilatation.

D. False Skin has no parasympathetic innervation; sympathetic cholinergic nerves are responsible for the increase in sweating when body temperature rises.

E. False The reverse is the case.
