The sympathetic division is also referred to as the thoracolumbar

division. It is referred to as either, but receives the term

thoracolumbar due to its exit location. The sympathetic division

preganglionic neurons exit the spinal column between the first

thoracic and second lumbar segments of the vertebrate column.

This varies from the majority of sympathetic neurons.

Does the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system initiate the stress response?

No, the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system is responsible for the "rest and digest" functions and promotes relaxation. The stress response is typically initiated by the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system.


What division of the autonomic nervous system that prepares the body for intense levels of activity and stressis the?

The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system is responsible for preparing the body for intense levels of activity and stress. It is often referred to as the "fight or flight" response. This division activates physiological responses such as increased heart rate, dilated pupils, and increased blood flow to muscles to help deal with stressful situations.


When the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system is activated its effects can be prolonged by secretions of the?

What is the relationship between the parasympathetic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system?

The parasympathetic nervous system is a division of the autonomic nervous system. It works in opposition to the sympathetic nervous system to regulate bodily functions at rest and promote relaxation.


Does the autonomic nervous system may cause activation or inhibitiom depending on the division that is active and the target that is affected?

Yes, the autonomic nervous system can cause either activation or inhibition depending on whether the sympathetic division or parasympathetic division is active, and which target organ is being affected. The sympathetic division generally activates the fight-or-flight response while the parasympathetic division promotes rest and relaxation.
