Difference between parasympathetic and enteric nervous systems?

∙ 11y ago
There really is no difference between these two levels of classification of the nervous system, but rather the parasympathetic and enteric division of the nervous system work with the sympathetic division to control smooth muscles, cardiac muscles, and glands in the body. They are both components of the autonomic nervous system.

What are the two divisions of the peripheral system?
What are the subsystems of the autonomic nervous system?
the nerve pathways followed by an impulse during a reflex.
Which parts of the gastrointestinal tract are innervated by the somatic nervous system?
GI tract is innervated locally by the enteric nervous system and activity of the Cajal pacemaker cells and by the autonomic nervous system (sympathetic / parasympathetic). It is not innervated by the somatic nervous system. I'm a neurobiologist/physiologist.
Does the central nervous system consist of the somatic nervous system?
No. Nervous System is comprised of the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) The PNS is comprised of the Somatic Nervous System and the Autonomic Nervous System The Autonomic Nervous System is comprised of the Sympathetic Nervous System, the Parasympathetic Nervous System and the Enteric Nervous System
Where is the enteric nervous system found?
The enteric nervous system is usually called the intestinal nervous branch of the nervous system. It regulates the digestive system.
Sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system's are subdivisions of what nervous system?
The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are subdivisions of the autonomic nervous system.
Decreasing heart rate is under the control of what nervous division?
Parasympathetic
What process does the parasympathetic nervous system not stimulate?
The parasympathetic nervous system does not stimulate the fight or flight response.
What does the parasympathetic nervous system stimulate in the micturition reflex?
The parasympathetic nervous system allows the act of micturition. The sympathetic nervous system inhibits it.
