Sympathetic nervous system stimulation causes what?
with stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system there will be a. constriction of the pupils b. dilation of the coronary arteries c. constriction of selected blood vessels d. profuse sweating
What are the mixing waves in digestive system?
These waves of in the smooth muscles in the GI tract are call peristalsis.
Is decrease GI motility and secretion has a cholinergic effect?
Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter in the GI tract (among other places). An increase in acetylcholine activity (also known as cholinergic activity) results in an increase in GI motility and secretion, not a decrease.
What actions are controlled by smooth muscles?
Any action that is not voluntary, ie: stomach, intestines, peristalsis (the movement of food through the GI tract)
What are the functions of the Sympathetic Nervous system and the Parasympathetic Nervous system?
The sympathetic division controls those actions that are activated in emergency or stressful situations while the parasympathetic division controls the Relaxation Response associated with enjoyment, rest and repair in the body.
Sympathetic division stimulation causes?
Increased blood glucose, decreased GI peristalsis, and increased heart rate and blood pressure.
What is the rhymic contraction of the lining of the gastrointestinal tract called?
The rhythmic contractions of tubular organs, such as the esophagus or intestine, are called peristaltic waves. These waves propel the food material forwards. They are automatic due to local nerve plexus. The peristaltic waves increase in rhythm and force due to stimulation by the parasympathetic autonomic nervous system, and decrease due to stimulation by the sympathetic autonomic nervous system.
Sympathetic nervous system stimulation causes what?
with stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system there will be a. constriction of the pupils b. dilation of the coronary arteries c. constriction of selected blood vessels d. profuse sweating
Stimulation of what receptors would most likely decrease glandular secretions within the GI tract?
muscarinic (M3,M4)
Peristalsis refers to?
Peristalsis is the contraction and propelling movement of the muscular walls of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
What do bowel sounds indicate?
peristalsis -- that the GI tract is functioning.
This is on a crossword for school. Contractions of GI tract.?
Peristalsis Peristaltic contractions
Rhythm like movement of the muscle in the walls of the GI tract?
The rhythmic muscular contractions of the digestive system are called peristalsis.
What type of muscle tissue can you find in your livers?
Smooth Muscle would be found in the liver and also throughout the GI tract. Regulated by peristalsis which is regulated by parasympathetic nervous system stimulation by cranial nerve 10 (vagus nerve) by the neurotransmitter acetylcholine ACh.
What are the mixing waves in digestive system?
These waves of in the smooth muscles in the GI tract are call peristalsis.
Name the muscular contraction that is a periodic squeezing of the GI tract that helps to mix and break up chyme?
peristalsis
Is decrease GI motility and secretion has a cholinergic effect?
Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter in the GI tract (among other places). An increase in acetylcholine activity (also known as cholinergic activity) results in an increase in GI motility and secretion, not a decrease.
