think of sympathetic nervous system as 'normal'. The parasympathetic nervous system kicks into action when there are unusual changes within the body. If you are scared for example, or if you take a drug or are unwell due to a bug. The parasympathetic nerve widens pupils, makes you go to the toilet more often, increases heart rate, widens bronchia etc. hope this helps. Not all these things will happen with all drugs or all illnesses, just using these as a brief example.
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.
Cellular metabolism and coronary blood vessels Affected by BOTH = Gallbladder & Salivary glands
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.
The individual heartbeat, or contraction, can be modified by input from the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. This modification can include increased or decreased contraction ratios, increased or decreased stroke volume and increased or decreased rate of contraction.

reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) was noticed during the civil war in patients who suffered pain following gunshot wounds that affected the median nerve (a major nerve in the arm).
adrenal medula
sympathetic (ureterorenal) if you're using hole's anatomy, "sympathetic" is sufficient as an answer.
The division of autonomic nervous system (ANS) that is affected by anethesia is parasympathetic nervous system (PNS).3
not affected. its true.
The digestive system is the one affected by a GI problem. GI stands for gastrointestinal. This is the stomach and intestines.
Adhesions commonly affect the intestines, leading to obstruction and abdominal pain.
