What symptoms might the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system produce in a patient experiencing stress?

Activation of the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system during stress can lead to symptoms such as increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure, pupil dilation, dilated airways, increased sweating, and decreased digestion. These physiological responses help prepare the body for the "fight or flight" response to perceived threats.


Can central nervous system damage lead to malfunction in the lymphatic system?

For clarity, let us consider the systems before we address this question.The lymphatic system filters the fluids that bathe cells in the body, trapping bacteria and viruses in lymph nodes. From here immune responses can be mounted to clear the invading matter. A part of the nervous system, referred to as the sympathetic nervous system, does indeed connect with these lymph nodes. This particular arm of the nervous system normally prepares the body to better cope in situations of stress (fight, flight, fright response). So this implies that the immune system may be shunted into a higher level of function in times of acute stress. It also might explain why chronic stress has the opposite effect via desensitization, meaning a greater change of infection.Now, since the connection is via the peripheral nervous system, and the role is modulatory, it follows that CNS damage - assuming it is non-fatal and does not result in profound loss of function - would not lead to 'malfunction' in the lymphatic system. But it could lead to acute of chronic changes in immune responsiveness, depending on sympathetic activation.


What do sympathetic nerves affect?

During periods of stress or increased activity, the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system predominates. And during periods of rest, the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system predominates


Which hormone controls the fight or flight response?

The sympathetic nervous system. The hypothalamus, in close association with the limbic system of the brain. The "fight or flight" response is the term used for the activation of the sympathetic nervous system. The two main chemicals invoved here are the neurotransmitter "norepinephrine" (noradrenaline) and the hormone "epinephrine" (adrenaline). Noradrenaline is produced in the neurones and is secreted at the synapse to exert its "sympathetic" activity on various organs throughout the body. The nervous system is also responsible for eliciting epinephrine production from the adrenal medulla (a part of the suprarenal glands situtated on the top of each kidney).


What are examples of human body system?

Some examples of human body systems include the nervous system, circulatory system, digestive system, and respiratory system. Each of these systems plays a specific role in maintaining the overall health and functioning of the body.

How might mimicking the the sympathetic nervous system help alleviate an asthma attack?

The sympathetic nervous system causes dilation of the bronchioles. This can alleviate symptoms of an asthma attack.


What kind of stimulus might cause a reponse from your autonomic system?

The autonomic nervous system is in charge of involuntary functions. There are two divisions-the sympathetic and parasympathetic. The sympathetic nervous system initiates the fight-or-flight response in emergency situations. The parasympathetic nervous system is referred to as the "rest and digest" stage in which the body "slows down" after the fight-or-flight response.


How might inhibiting the sympathetic nervous system act to lower blood pressure?

It will help to calm you down and make you feel less nervous or anxious. This will result in a lowering of blood pressure.

What effect does the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system have on the digestive system?

The parasympathetic nervous system is a division of the autonomic nervous system (along with the sympathetic nervous system, and the enteric nervous system). In simple terms, the SNS can be thought of as the body's gas pedal, and the PNS as the brake. So where the SNS deals with 'fight or flight' the PNS deals with 'rest and digest'. In other words, the PNS is often inhibitory. For example, it can act to slow down heart rate, enhance the peristaltic contractions of the gut, or increase secretions of digestive enzymes. In can also cause vasodilation (make the blood vessels wider) around your gut after meals: this means more blood flows to your intestive and stomach after you've eaten a meal, allowing you to digest what you've eaten.

Why does the heart beat faster when you excercise?

The autonomic nervous system is then divided into the sympathetic division and parasympathetic division. The sympathetic nervous system responds to impending danger or stress, and is responsible for the increase of one's heartbeat and blood pressure, among other physiological changes, along with the sense of excitement he feels. The parasympathetic nervous system, on the other hand, is evident when a person is resting and feels relaxed, and is responsible for such things as the constriction of the pupil, the slowing of the heart, the dilation of the blood vessels, and the stimulation of the digestive and geniturinary systems.
