ANS Effects On Organs Flashcards
Heart
Muscle
SNS stimulation: increases rate (B1), increases force of contraction (B1)
PNS stimulation: decreases rate, decreases force of contraction (especially atria)
Blood vessels
SNS stimulation: most often constricted
PNS stimulation: most often little/ no effect
Heart
Coronaries
SNS stimulation: Dilated (B2), constricted (a1)
PNS stimulation: Dilated
Lungs
Bronchi
SNS stimulation: dilated
PNS stimulation: constricted
Lungs
Blood vessels
SNS stimulation: mildly constricted
PNS stimulation: dilated?
Gut
Lumen
SNS stimulation: decreases peristalsis and tone
PNS stimulation: increases peristalsis and tone
Gut
Sphincter
SNS stimulation: increases tone (most times)
PNS stimulation: relaxed (most times)
Liver
SNS stimulation: glucose released
PNS stimulation: slight glycogen synthesis
Gallbladder
&
Bile ducts
SNS stimulation: relaxed
PNS stimulation: contracted
Kidney
SNS stimulation: decreased urine output and increased renin secretion
PNS stimulation: None
Systemic arterioles (Abdominal viscera)
SNS stimulation: constricted
PNS stimulation: None
Systemic arterioles
Muscle
