Answer:
The effect of autonomic fibers on target cells is excitatory or inhibitory
The effect of somatic fibers on target cells is always excitatory.
Explanation:
The autonomic fibers is a part of peripheral nervous system that controls the involuntary actions of internal organs and glands like heart and intestines.
It's effect are excitatory or inhibitory because reflexive and involuntary manner. It helps to maintain homeostasis (internal stability and balance) through the coordination of various activities such as hormone secretion, circulation, respiration, digestion and excretion. This system control fight to fight response in the body incase of danger.
This system operate in opposite" actions where one system activates a physiological response and the other inhibits it.
The somatic fibers are part of the peripheral nervous system that help transmit sensory information and motor information. They are made up of nerves that connect to the skin, sensory organs, and all skeletal muscles.
Somatic neurons are excitatory neurons because excite their target postsynaptic neurons or target cells causing it to function..
