nor ep

42
Q

what are some key factpors of sympathetic NS

A

n Pupils dilate and eyelids retract
n Blood vessels of the skin and gut constrict
n Piloerection & Bronchodilation
n Heart rate & contractile force increase
n Quiescent digestive and other vegetative functions
n The adrenal medulla is activated to release epinephrine and noradrenaline in the bloodstream

A

true

48
Q

name some fucntions of parasympatheitc system
