Autonomic nervous system Flashcards
Parasympathetic effects of the stomach
Increased motility/secretion. Relaxed sphincters
Parasympathetic effects of the pancreas
Increased secretion
Parasympathetic effects of the liver
Increased glucose uptake
Parasympathetic effects of the gall bladder
Increased contraction
Parasympathetic effects of the lungs
Constricts bronchioles
Parasympathetic effects of the kidneys
No effect
Parasympathetic effects of the heart
Slows HR
Parasympathetic effects of the blood vessels
Little/no effect
Parasympathetic effects of the glands- salivary, lacrimal, gastric
Stimulates secretion
Parasympathetic effects of the urinary bladder/urethra
Contracts smooth muscle; relaxes urethral sphincter; promotes voiding
Sympathetic effects of the stomach
Decreases activity; constricts sphincters
Sympathetic effects of the pancreas
Decreases secretion
Sympathetic effects of the liver
Increases glucose release to blood
Sympathetic effects of the gall bladder
Inhibit secretion
Sympathetic effects of the lungs
Dilates bronchioles
Sympathetic effects of the kidneys
Increases renin release; vasoconstriction; decrease urine
Sympathetic effects of the heart
Increases HR and contraction force
Sympathetic effects of the blood vessels
constricts most vessels and increases blood pressure; constricts vessels of abdominal viscera and skin to divert blood to muscles, brain, and heart when necessary; epinephrine weakly dilates vessels of skeletal muscles during exercise
Sympathetic effects of the glands- salivary, lacrimal, gastric
Inhibits; constricts blood vessels
Sympathetic effects of the urinary bladder/urethra
Relaxes smooth muscle; constricts urethral sphincter; inhibit voiding
Parasympathetic effects of the eyes (iris)
Constricts pupils
Parasympathetic effects of the eyes (ciliary muscle)
Close vision
Parasympathetic effects of the adrenal medulla
No effect
Parasympathetic effects of the sweat glands
No effect
Parasympathetic effects of the arrectir pili muscles
No effect
Parasympathetic effects of the penis
Vasodilation - erection
Parasympathetic effects of cell metabolism
No effect
Parasympathetic effects of the adipose tissue
No effect
Sympathetic effects of the eyes (iris)
Dilates pupils
Sympathetic effects of the eye (ciliary muscle)
far vision
Sympathetic effects of the adrenal medulla
stimulates medulla cells to secrete epinephrine and norepinephrine
Sympathetic effects of the sweat glands (skin)
Increased sweating
Sympathetic effects of the arrector pili muscles
Stimulates contraction - goose bumps
Sympathetic effects of the penis
Ejaculation
Sympathetic effects of cell metabolism
Increases metabolic rate
Sympathetic effects of the adipose tissue
Stimulates lipolysis
