What is the function of the sympathetic nervous system in the human body?
The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the body's "fight or flight" response, which helps prepare the body to react to stressful situations by increasing heart rate, dilating airways, and releasing adrenaline.
How many cells in a nervous system?
You could say there are 2, The Central Nervous System(CNS), & the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS).To be more inclusive, here is a list of human nervous systems:The Central Nervous System (CNS), the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS),the Somatic Nervous System (SNS), the Autonomic Nervous System, the Sympathetic Nervous System, and the Parasympathetic Nervous System.That would make a total of 6, although the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic are parts of the Autonomic Nervous system, which could mean a total of 4, and the Autonomic is itself a part of the Peripheral Nervous System, which would bring the total back to 2.The Central Nervous System is comprised of the brain and the spinal cord;the Peripheral Nervous System connects the CNS to other parts of the body, and is comprised of the Somatic Nervous System and the Autonomic Nervous System;the Somatic Nervous System includes all the nerves controlling the body's muscular system, and sensory nerves;the Autonomic Nervous System consists of motor neurons which control internal organs, and is comprised of two sub-systems, the Sympathetic Nervous System, and the Parasympathetic Nervous System;the Sympathetic Nervous System is involved in the fight-or-flight response, and the Parasympathetic Nervous System is involved in relaxation.
What are the two divisions partof the human nervous system?
The two divisions of the human nervous system are the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS), which consists of all the nerves outside the CNS that connect it to the rest of the body.
The component of the human nervous system that brings sensory information to the brain and transmits commands from it is called the?
Partly the Cranial nerve and partly the spinal chord. also known as the peripheral nervous system
Does the human nervous system remove wastes?
The human nervous system does not play a direct role in removing wastes from the body. Waste removal is primarily carried out by the urinary system, respiratory system, digestive system, and integumentary system.
The two major divisions of the human nervous system are?
The two major divisions of the human nervous system are the central nerves and the peripheral nerves.
What is the function of the sympathetic nervous system in the human body?
The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the body's "fight or flight" response, which helps prepare the body to react to stressful situations by increasing heart rate, dilating airways, and releasing adrenaline.
What has the author Jeffrey P Ellison written?
Jeffrey P. Ellison has written: 'Sympathetic nerve pathways to the human heart, and their variations' -- subject(s): Heart, Sympathetic nervous system
What is the difference between a human nervous system and a jellyfish nervous system?
A human nervous system is much more complex. Unlike a human a jellyfish does not have a central nervous system.
How many cells in a nervous system?

What system does the human brain belong to?
The human brain belongs to the nervous system.
Is the sympathetic nervous system same as central nervous system?
Autonomic nervous system is that part of the nervous system that controls the body function that are not consciously controlled by the human brain like breathing, heartbeat, and digestive processes. Autonomic nervous system is a part of the peripheral nervous system. It works along with the somatic nervous system to regulate the body functions.
Which part of the human body serves the same purpose as the wires that send information from a camera to a computer?
The nervous system.
What nervous system is responsible for the involuntary processes of the human body?
You are probably referring to "involuntary body functions" - and the answer would be the autonomic nervous system. This system could be further divided into the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system.
How does the sympathetic nervous system contribute to manintaining homeostasis?
In short, stimulation of the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system prepares the body for emergencies: for "fight or flight". This system allows for these reactions to occur with out upsetting the balance of the human body. It increases activity that is necessary to the "fight or flight" response(ex: blood pressure, heart rate, and adrenaline) and decreases activity that is unnecessary (ex: salivation and digestion)
What is the central processing organ of the nervous system?
The human nervous system is centralized at the brain.
What part of the human nervous system carries senses to the brain?
The peripheral nervous system.
