What is the effects of parasympathetic stimulation on smooth muscle of blood vessels?
Wiki User

Nothing. The blood vessels are not innervated by the parasympathetic autonomic nervous system; only the sympathetics innervate blood vessels. Their action results in constriction of the smooth muscle in the walls of the vessels.

How does the PNS affect the organs of the body?
With regard to specific target organs and tissues, parasympathetic stimulation acts to decrease heart rate and decrease the force of contraction. Parasympathetic stimulation also reduces the conduction velocity of cardiac muscle fibers.
How does PNS stimulation affect the lungs?
parasympathetic system (PSNS) will a)vasoconstrict the lumen of airway by contracting smooth muscle cells along the conducting passage via M3 Receptor, b)increase mucus secretion via M3 Overall it'll interfere with normal breathing pattern and obstruct normal breathing.
Describe how the nerve impulse travels in the heart?
The brain can influence the heart in two ways. Sympathetic and parasympathetic stimulation. Parasympathetic stimulation of the heart is through the vagus nerve. Sympathetic stimulation of the heart is via cervical and thoracic splanchnic nerves. The heart has its own pacemaker cells, so the brain only changes the rate and contractility of the heart.
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 has the author Gustaf Hellsing written?
Gustaf Hellsing has written: 'Effects of vibratory stimulation on jaw muscle function in man'
What are the medicinal actions associated with bitters?
The stimulation of gastric juices, and muscle relaxants, antiviral effects, anti-inflammatory effects, antisepsis, laxative effect, antispasmodic, antibacterial and pain relieving effects.
Is Cardiac muscle stimulation neural?
No, but skeletal muscle is.
What conclusions can you draw about the relationship between a muscle's workload and its threshold of stimulation?
As the muscle workload increase, its threshold of stimulation increases.
Why does the force of a muscle decrease over time during uninterrupted stimulation?
The muscle is said to undergo Fatigue.
After nervous stimulation of the muscle cell has ceased the calcium in the muscle?
uhhh
How does the synaptic nervous system affect the iris?
The iris is not innervated directly, however the iris sphincter muscle is affected by the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Sympathetic stimulation causes pupil dilation while parasympathetic nervous system causes pupil constriction. The parasympathetic response is quicker because of the proximity of a parasympathetic ganglion (ciliary ganglion) to the eye. The sympathetic response is slower because all sympathetic ganglia are confined to the spinal cord. This is the reason why people adjust faster to a bright shining light than darkness.
What does epinephrine do to the blood vessels?
Sympathetic stimulation (I'm guessing you mean your bodie's reaction in fight or flight) makes the blood vessles tighten, or constrict, hightening blood pressure. This is bad for you over long periods of time.
