The portion of the nervous system that most closely associated with the contraction of cardiac muscle is The?
The portion of the nervous system that is most closely associated with the contraction of the cardiac muscle is the autonomic nervous system.
Can the autonomic interating centers be influenced by higher brain area?
No, the autonomic nervous system controls smooth muscle, such as organs and some glands.
How does the somatic nervous system differ from the autonomic nervous system?
The somatic nervous system controls the voluntary movement of skeletal muscles, such as when you move your arm. The autonomic nervous systems controls the involuntary actions of internal organs and glands. The beating of your heart is controlled by this system. The autonomic nervous system is further broken up into two parts: the sympathetic, which controls arousal (think fight-or-flight), and the parasympathetic, which controls calming (think rest and digest).
What are the divisions of the ANS?
The division of the autonomic nervous system responsible for each of the reflexes is the ciliospinal reflex. Ciliospinal reflex responds mainly by the 2nd and 3rd order nerves to the muscle of the iris.
What describes the ANS?
Autonomic Nervous System is part of the peripheral nervous system (in the limbs and parts of the body outside the Brain and spinal cord) which is INVOLUNTARY, and not under our concious control. Thus it controls things like the heart and breathing that we need in order to survive. it is the opposite to the somatic nervous system which is voluntary. like arm muscle movements etc. the ANS uses sympathetic (adrenaline) and parasympathetic (acetylcholine) controls. motor fibers that conduct nerve impulses from the CNS to smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands :)
What system contols glandular activity and smooth muscle?
They are controlled by the autonomic nervous system.
Does the somatic nervous system mix your food in your stomach?
No. The autonomic nervous system is responsible for controlling the muscle activity of your stomach.
What is the division of the peripheral nervous system that communicates with smooth muscle?
Autonomic Nervous System
Which effector is not directly controlled by the autonomic nervous system?
Skeletal Muscle
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.
What reflex regulates the activity of smooth muscle?
autonomic reflex
The portion of the nervous system that is most closely associated with the contraction of the cardiac muscle is the?
autonomic nervous system
Name a structure that receives signals from autonomic nervous system?
Smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, gland
What are the effectors controlled by the autonomic nervous system?
The effectors leading to skeletal muscle.
What are the two subdivisions of the motor subdivision of the peripheral nervous system?
The two subdivisions of the motor subdivision are the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. The somatic nervous system transmits action potentials from the CNS to skeletal muscle, and the autonomic nervous system transmits action potentials from the CNS to smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands.
The autonomic nervous system consists of neurons that conduct impulses from the central nervous system to what in the body?
smooth muscle
What type of muscle is found in the walls of stomach?
The stomach wall has smooth muscle, controlled by the autonomic nervous system.
