what are the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems?
535828
The sympathetic nervous system is often considered the "fight or flight" system, while the parasympathetic nervous system is often considered the "rest and digest" or "feed and breed" system.

Resting and exercise heart rate are controlled by the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system prepares the body for physical activity by increasing heart rate, blood pressure and respiration.

Anatomical terminology. The parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS) is one of the two divisions, the other being the sympathetic, that together are called the autonomic nervous system, which is a division of another system called the peripheral nervous system (PNS)).

The parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS) is one of the two divisions, the other being the sympathetic, that together are called the autonomic nervous system, which is a division of another system called the peripheral nervous system (PNS)).

Tutorial 5: Autonomic Nervous System. The Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) is divided into two functionally distinct divisions, the Sympathetic and the Parasympathetic Divisions. Each consists of nerves that control the activity of the heart, blood vessels, glands, and other organs containing smooth muscles.

The autonomic nervous system is regulated by integrated reflexes through the brainstem to the spinal cord and organs. ... The sympathetic nervous system is often considered the "fight or flight" system, while the parasympathetic nervous system is often considered the "rest and digest" or "feed and breed" system.

While the sympathetic nervous system, e.g. accelerates the breath and heartbeat pace, narrows the blood vessels, increases the blood pressure, and slows down the intestinal peristalsis, the parasympathetic nervous system reacts conversely : slowing down the breath and heartbeat pace, decreasing blood pressure and ...

Terms in this set (30) The parasympathetic nervous system is one of the two main divisions of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Its general function is to control homeostasis and the body's rest-and-digest response.

The parasympathetic nervous system is a division of the autonomic nervous system that controls the internal body organs in resting state. It is active all the time and promotes life by regulating the vital body functions, although the person is unconscious about all these processes.

The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is part of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which also includes the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). The sympathetic nervous system activates what is often termed the fight or flight response.

The somatic nervous system transmits sensory and motor signals to and from the central nervous system. The autonomic nervous system controls the function of our organs and glands, and can be divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions.

The autonomic nervous system is a component of the peripheral nervous system that regulates involuntary physiologic processes including heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, digestion, and sexual arousal.
781566
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) contains two subdivisions: the parasympathetic (PSNS) and sympathetic (SNS) nervous systems.

The autonomic nervous system has three branches: the sympathetic nervous system, the parasympathetic nervous system and the enteric nervous system.

The autonomic nervous system consists of sensory neurons and motor neurons that run between the central nervous system (especially the hypothalamus and medulla oblongata) and various internal organs such as the: heart.

The autonomic nervous system is a control system that acts largely unconsciously and regulates bodily functions, such as the heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, pupillary response, urination, and sexual arousal.

The parasympathetic nervous system calms the body and conserves energy. It is responsible for our rest and digest response.
