Which system is responsible for the Control of restorative/
vegetative/housing responses
Parasympathetic NS

The two divisions of the ANS tend to operate ________ in those tissues/organs that are dually innervated
antagonistically
Which tissues do not receive dual innervation
Adrenal medulla,
Pilomotor muscles,
Radial muscles of the iris,
Skin & blood vessels
The term given for the Simultaneous stimulation of both divisions resulting in an increased effect
Synergism
What process is affected by synergism
salivation,
secretion by other exocrine glands of the gut,
copulation
True or False, Where there is dual innervation, both divisions usually operate concomitantly to antagonize each other
False
