What division of the autonomic nervous system mediates the reflex release of saliva?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
The parasympathetic nervous system stimulates salivary gland secretion, and accelerates peristalsis, so, in keeping with the rest and digest functions, appropriate PNS activity mediates digestion of food and indirectly, the absorption of nutrients.

enteric nervous system is responsible for the pupillary light reflex

As part of which nervous system do postganglionic neurons release norepinephrine?
Sympathetic nervous system, which is part of autonomic nervous system.
how process is governed by the autonomic nervous system?
By release of chemical neurotransmitters like epinephrine and norepinephrine, increasing response to tough external stimuli.
Explain the difference between sympathetic and parasympathetic reactions as they occur in the autonomic nervous system?
The sympathetic nervous system is most active when you are in an emergency, exercising, or an exciting or embarrassing situation. It is often referred to as the "fight-or-flight" system. It increases the heart rate, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels. It also dilates the bronchioles of the lungs, and dilates the blood vessels of the skeletal muscles. This nervous system enables the body to cope rapidly with situations. The parasympathetic nervous system is active when the body is resting. It is referred to as the "resting-and-digesting" system. It conserves your body's energy by slowing the heart rate. It also promotes digestion.sypmathetic is the "fight or flight" response and the parasympathetic is the "rest and digest" responses
Does the nervous system control all of the of the systems of your body?
Considering that nerves are every ware in your body, yes. Considering that nerves are every ware in your body, yes. Absolutely, that's what it's there for, cognitively you don't control everything, but your nervous system does. BTW whoever answered the question previously, you should know that everywhere is spelt e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e not e-v-e-r-y-w-a-r-e.
What secretes norepinephrine adrenergic fibers?
sympathetic division. Parasympathetic division fibers called cholinergic fibers release acetylcholine.
What division of the autonomic nervous system targets the liver to stimulate the release of glucose into the blood?
sympathetic
As part of which nervous system do postganglionic neurons release norepinephrine?
Sympathetic nervous system, which is part of autonomic nervous system.
All preganglionic axons of the autonomic nervous system release what?
acetylcholine (ACH)
Can a person release adrenaline on their own?
No. Adrenaline is released in response to the autonomic nervous system. 'Autonomic' indicating that it is an automatic process regulated by the body and is not under voluntary control. Other components of the nervous system, such as the somatic nervous system, are able to be voluntarily controlled. Adrenaline release is regulated by the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system. Adrenaline is released in response to various stimuli such as: exercise, stress, fear, decreased blood pressure (including blood loss), and more. B.) Yes , there are some few people in the world have it they can release a small amount on their own but not like when they are in fear or rush.
List the division of the autonomic nervous system?
the autonomic nervous system (ANS) includes the peripheal nerves and ganglia on either side of the spinal cord ( note: some textbooks include the ANS as a division pf the peripheal nervous system both ways are correct.)
Difference between parasympathetic and enteric nervous systems?
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 role do the parasympathetic division of the ans play in digestion?
The parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system stimulates digestion. It activates salivation, which functions in digestion as the beginning of breaking the food down. It also stimulates the gall bladder to release bile for digestion. Digestion in the small intestine is increased and gastric juice in the stomach is secreted.
how process is governed by the autonomic nervous system?
By release of chemical neurotransmitters like epinephrine and norepinephrine, increasing response to tough external stimuli.
What neurosystem is the division of the autonomic nervous system that is concerned with body functions?
The parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS) is one of the two main divisions of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The ANS is responsible for regulation of internal organs and glands, which occurs without conscious effort. The parasympathetic system includes the normal regulation of bodily functions, while the sympathetic system is concerned more with rapid reflexive and instinctive reactions.
What organ and organ system is responsible for preparing the body for the Fight or Flight response during stressful situations?
The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system is responsible for preparing you body for the fight or flight response. The role of the hypothalamus.Combination of the brain and nervous as well as muscular and cardiovascular system. The brain initiates the process and everything becomes innate from there...the nervous system delivers the fight or flight signals, the heart beats faster and the muscles tense in order to release energy and react quicker to the organism's surroundings Adrenaline prepares your body for the fight response.
Which autonomic neurons release norepinephrine as a neurotransmitte?
Sympathetic postganglionic neurons release norepinephrine,
What are the two neurotransmitters that axon terminals of autonomic neurons release?
Nonepinephrine and acetylcholine
