Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The parasympathetic nervous system stimulates glycogen synthesis in the liver, while acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter released by the parasympathetic nerves that promotes glycogen synthesis in the liver. Therefore, stimulating the parasympathetic nerve to the liver and applying acetylcholine to liver cells are both correct ways to increase glycogen synthesis in the liver.
