The sympathetic system causes the vessels to constrict (shut blood to core systems) and is often called the fight or flight response.

The parasympathetic system causes the vessels to relax and is often called the feed and breed response.

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.


Is a effector are skeletal muscles a somatic reflex or a autonomic reflex?

Skeletal muscles, which are effectors, are involved in somatic reflexes. Somatic reflexes involve voluntary control of skeletal muscles and are part of the somatic nervous system. Autonomic reflexes, on the other hand, involve the control of smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands, and are part of the autonomic nervous system.


3 kinds of muscles?

The three kinds of muscles are the smooth, cardiac and the skeletal. The smooth muscles are controlled by the autonomic nervous system. The cardiac muscles are in the heart and the skeletal help move our bodies.


Which muscles are voluntary and which muscles are involuntary?

Voluntary muscles are skeletal muscles (under somatic control) and involuntary muscles involve the heart, smooth muscles and anything under autonomic control.


Which effector is not directly controlled by the autonomic nervous system?

Skeletal muscle is not directly controlled by the autonomic nervous system. Skeletal muscles are under voluntary control, with motor neurons from the somatic nervous system providing the neural input for their activation. Autonomic nervous system controls smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands.


What is the invoulentry and voulentry muscles?

Your involuntary muscles are muscles like your smooth muscle (stomach) and your cardiac muscle (heart), which are under autonomic control. Your skeletal muscles are the muscles which are voluntary since you have complete control over them! :]


What body system does not rely on autonomic nervous?

The skeletal system does not rely on the autonomic nervous system. It is primarily controlled by the somatic nervous system, which governs voluntary movements and actions of skeletal muscles. While the autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary functions like heart rate and digestion, the skeletal system operates independently in terms of movement and support.


Skeletal muscles are voluntary muscles that are under the control of what?

movement of bones--example, when you walk, muscles are pulling your bones so you can take steps.


Are voluntarily controlled by skeletal or cardiac or smooth?

Voluntary muscles are controlled by the skeletal muscle system, while cardiac and smooth muscles are involuntary and regulated by the autonomic nervous system. Skeletal muscles are under conscious control for movement, posture, and facial expressions, while cardiac muscles control the heart's contractions and smooth muscles regulate internal organ functions.


What muscles are the muscles that move bones?

These muscles are called "skeletal muscles".


How do blood pressure and total peripheral resistance change with exercise?

total peripheral resistance will decrease because of vaso dilation of local arterioles that are supplying the active muscles i.e,skeletal muscles. and blood pressure will increase for two reasons: increased cardiac output resulting from increased pumping activity of heart. because of vasoconstriction of arterioles every where else in the body
