What else can I help you with?
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
What does sympathomiminic mean?
An agent that mimics the effects of the sympathetic nervous system.Example: Epinephrine and norepinephrine are sympathomimetic hormones because they produce effects that mimic those brought about by the sympathetic nervous system.
Is the adrenal cortex an extension of the sympathetic nervous system?
No, the adrenal cortex is not an extension of the sympathetic nervous system. The adrenal cortex is the outer region of the adrenal gland that produces hormones like cortisol and aldosterone. The sympathetic nervous system is a part of the autonomic nervous system that controls the body's fight or flight response.
Which part of the brain sends impulses to the nervous system in time of emergency?
The emergency, or "fight or flight" part of the nervous system is the sympathetic nervous system. The parasympathetic nervous system produces a "rest and digest" response.
Which hormones increases and prolongs effects of the sympathetic nervous system?
Epinephrine and norepinephrine (also known as adrenaline and noradrenaline) are hormones that increase and prolong the effects of the sympathetic nervous system. They are released from the adrenal glands during the "fight or flight" response to stress and help prepare the body for action by increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and energy availability.
What endocrine gland develops from the sympathetic nervous system?
The adrenal medulla develops from the sympathetic nervous system. It is responsible for secreting hormones such as adrenaline (epinephrine) and noradrenaline (norepinephrine) in response to stress or danger.
How does the sympathetic nervous system influence the perception of pain?
The sympathetic nervous system can amplify the perception of pain by increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and stress hormones, which can make pain feel more intense.
Which of the layers of an artery wall is regulated by the sympathetic nervous system and many hormones?
the middle layer, tunica media
The division of the autonomic nervous system that acts in times of emergency is the?
The sympathetic nervous system is the "fight or flight" part -- in times of stress, it is what kicks in to get things handled. Once the danger is removed (or stress), the parasympathetic kicks in, which calms you down.
How does an increase in sympathetic nervous system activity affect blood pressure?
An increase in sympathetic nervous system activity can lead to higher blood pressure. This is because the sympathetic nervous system releases hormones like adrenaline, which can cause blood vessels to constrict and the heart to beat faster, resulting in elevated blood pressure.
What component of the nervous system is associated with the fight or flight?
sympathetic nervous system.
What system gets your body ready for emergency by increasing Adrenalin and slowing digestion down?
The sympathetic nervous system.
