What are the glands of the sympathetic nervous system?
The nervous system has three glands, the hypothalamus, pituitary, and pineal.
Which of these endocrine glands produce hormones that work with the sympathetic nervous system and cause the fight or flight response?
adrenal glands!
What organ system controls the activity of eccrine sweat glands?
The nervous system. Sweating is regulated by the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system, over which we have little control. Its major role is to prevent overheating of the body.
What controls the sweat glands?
Your sweat glands are controlled by autonomic nervous system. They get the nervous supply through the sympathetic nerves. But functionally they are parasympathetic nerves, because the acetylcholine is secreted over there at the terminal end.
Where are specialized second order neurons of the sympathetic nervous system that release neurotransmitters into the bloodstream located?
In the adrenal glands
What target organs are affected by the sympathetic nervous system but not by the parasympathetic nervous system?
Cellular metabolism and coronary blood vessels Affected by BOTH = Gallbladder & Salivary glands
Muscarinic receptors are found on?
Organs innervated by the parasympathetic nervous system. One addition to that are sweat glands. They are innervated by sympathetic nervous system, however, they have muscarinic receptors, NOT adrenergic receptors.
What is a Neuroblastoma?
Neuroblastoma-- Neuroblastoma is a tumor of the adrenal glands or sympathetic nervous system. Neuroblastomas can range from being relatively harmless to highly malignant.
What are the subsystems of the autonomic nervous system?
the nerve pathways followed by an impulse during a reflex.
Which structures would not be innervated by the sympathetic nervous system A. skeletal muscle B. glands C. smooth muscle D. cardiac muscle?
skeletal muscles
Where is the norepinephrine located?
Neurotransmitters are chemicals produced in and around the nervous system of animals. They are present in all of the nerve cells, but predominately in the ganglia or nerve bundles of invertebrates, and in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) of vertebrates. There are many kinds of neurotransmitter chemicals.
Why do our palms get sweaty when we are nervous?
Our sweat glands are supplied by a set of nerves knows as the sympathetic nervous system. This is the system that is in charge of dealing with alarming situations, known as the fight or flight system. When this system kicks in, the body heats up and sweat glands secrete sweat to cool the body down.
