Q

What does the Sympathetic Division of the Autonomic Nervous System do?

A

It responds to a threat to our homeostasis or stress and enables survival
-increases oxygen delivered to our skeletal muscles
-increases sweating
-blood is shifted away from the digestive system and toward the skeletal muscle
-pupils dilate
-brain becomes alert

Pulmonary
Esophageal
Abdominal aortic

39
Q

Subdivisions in autonomic plexus (abdominal aorta)

A

Celiac, inferior mesenteric, superior mesenteric, and hypogastric plexus

40
Q

These 3 receive only sympathetic innervation

A

Blood vessels, sweat glands, arrector pili muscles

41
Q

Lower heart rate, increased GI activity, pupil dilation, airway constriction, decrease breathing rate

A

Parasympathetic dominance

42
Q

Increased heart rate, decreased GI activity, pupil constriction, airway dilation, increased breathing rate

A

Sympathetic dominance

43
Q

Balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic dominance when an organ is at rest

A

Autonomic Tone

44
Q

Dominates the heart at rest
-lowers heart rate to normal range

A

Parasympathetic tone

45
Q

Dominates blood vessels at rest
-adjusts constriction of vessels to maintain blood pressure

A

Sympathetic tone

46
Q

______ helps body response to stress

A

Autonomic Nervous System

47
Q

The aim is to increase nutrients in blood and deliver more blood to head and muscles

A

ANS

48
Q

Stress response results in:

A
  1. Lipid breakdown and increased blood glucose
  2. Airway dilation for increased oxygen in blood
  3. Increased blood flow to skeletal muscles ; decreased blood flow to viscera
  4. Higher blood pressure to increase speed of delivery to brain and muscles
49

A

Endocrine hormones
