The sympathetic system causes the vessels to constrict (shut blood to core systems) and is often called the fight or flight response.
The parasympathetic system causes the vessels to relax and is often called the feed and breed response.

Which is not directly regulated by the autonomic nervous system?
Skeletal muscles in the arm
Is skeletal muscle controlled by the Autonomic Nervous System?
No. Smooth muscle is controlled by the autonomic nervous system (like the intestinal muscles). Two skeletal muscles in the middle ear automatically respond to sound.
Is a effector are skeletal muscles a somatic reflex or a autonomic reflex?
Somatic reflex
3 kinds of muscles?
The three kinds of muscles are the smooth, cardiac and the skeletal. The smooth muscles are controlled by the autonomic nervous system. The cardiac muscles are in the heart and the skeletal help move our bodies.
Which muscles are voluntary and which muscles are involuntary?
Voluntary muscles are skeletal muscles (under somatic control) and involuntary muscles involve the heart, smooth muscles and anything under autonomic control.
What is the invoulentry and voulentry muscles?
Your involuntary muscles are muscles like your smooth muscle (stomach) and your cardiac muscle (heart), which are under autonomic control. Your skeletal muscles are the muscles which are voluntary since you have complete control over them! :]
Skeletal muscles are voluntary muscles that are under the control of what?
movement of bones--example, when you walk, muscles are pulling your bones so you can take steps.
What muscles are the muscles that move bones?
These muscles are called "skeletal muscles".
How do blood pressure and total peripheral resistance change with exercise?
total peripheral resistance will decrease because of vaso dilation of local arterioles that are supplying the active muscles i.e,skeletal muscles. and blood pressure will increase for two reasons: increased cardiac output resulting from increased pumping activity of heart. because of vasoconstriction of arterioles every where else in the body
What kind of Eye muscles are controlled by the autonomic nervous system?
intrinsic eye muscles are controlled by the autonomic nervous system
What muscles are muscles that move bones?
Skeletal muscles .
Which type of muscles tires quickly during exercise?
