Is white rami exclusive to the sympathetic division of the ANS?
No, white rami are not exclusive to the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). While they are primarily associated with the sympathetic division, specifically as pathways for preganglionic sympathetic fibers to enter the sympathetic ganglia, similar structures exist in the parasympathetic division. However, the term "white rami" typically refers to the myelinated preganglionic fibers of the sympathetic system.
The involuntary muscles are controlled by what?
The involuntary muscles are primarily composed of smooth muscle and specialized striated muscle known as cardiac muscle. All skeletal muscle is under voluntary control. Hence, the involuntary muscles are under control of the autonomic nervous system, which can be further divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. The sympathetic division is readying the body into action, hence the "fight or flight" response associated with it, and the parasympathetic division associated with "rest and digest". :)
Which has more specific local control the sympathetic or parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system?
The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system typically has more specific local control. This is because sympathetic nerves release norepinephrine at specific target tissues, allowing for precise modulation of target organ responses. In contrast, the parasympathetic division releases acetylcholine more diffusely, leading to more widespread effects on multiple target organs.
Which is NOT a function of the parasympathetic division of the ANS?
Which of WHAT?? You offer no CHOICES in your question to select from! Basically the sympathetic nervous system would not act to relax muscles in the body.
What would not occur if the parasympathetic division was more active than the sympathetic division?
If the parasympathetic division was more active than the sympathetic division, the body would experience a decrease in heart rate, pupil dilation, and the release of stress hormones. Overall, the individual would be in a more relaxed state with lower blood pressure and slower breathing.
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 nervous system gets your body ready for action in an emergency by increasing adrenalin and slowing down digestion.?
sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system
Which neuro transmitter released from ganglionic of the parasympathetic division?
Nor-adrenaline is secreted at post ganglionic sympathetic synapses. There is re-uptake of Nor-adrenaline by nerve ending and only partially destroyed there by the enzyme C.O.M.T. There is no enzyme like acetylcholinesterase present there as in post ganglionic parasympathetic synapse to destroy the acetylcholine.
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.
The two divisions of the ANS normally have what relationship?
The two divisions of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions, typically have opposing functions. The sympathetic division is responsible for the "fight or flight" response, while the parasympathetic division promotes the "rest and digest" response. They work together to maintain balance and regulate bodily functions.
From what areas of the CNS does each division originate?
The parasympathetic originates from the brain and spinal cord. The sympathetic originates from the thoracic and lumbar spinal nerves.
List the division of the autonomic nervous system?
the autonomic nervous system (ANS) includes the peripheal nerves and ganglia on either side of the spinal cord ( note: some textbooks include the ANS as a division pf the peripheal nervous system both ways are correct.)
