Autonomic Nervous System 2 Flashcards

1
Q

Which system exerts the predominant to in an effector organ?

A

For effector tissues with DUAL INNERVATION

Parasympathetic division is dominant, including: sinoatrial and atrioventricular nodes of the heart, the pupils, gastrointestinal and genitourinary muscles and sphincters

Sympathetic division is dominant only in terms of vascular tone and thermo sweat glands
