when the sympathetic nervous system is engaged what happens
increased HR
increased contractility
increased vasodilation of arterioles of skeletal muscle
increased vasoconstriction of visceral arterioles

depolarization
contraction
membrane potential becomes more positive
influx of sodium
repolarization
relaxation
membrane potential becomes more negative
efflux of potassium
