What structures of the cardiovascular system are innervated by the sympathetic nervous system but not by the parasympathetic nervous system?

The sympathetic nervous system innervates several structures of the cardiovascular system, including the heart, blood vessels, and adrenal medulla. It increases heart rate and contractility through the release of norepinephrine, while also causing vasoconstriction in many blood vessels to elevate blood pressure. In contrast, the parasympathetic nervous system primarily affects the heart by reducing heart rate but does not innervate blood vessels or the adrenal medulla. Consequently, the sympathetic system plays a crucial role in preparing the body for "fight or flight" responses by acting on these structures.


Muscarinic receptors are found on?

Organs innervated by the parasympathetic nervous system. One addition to that are sweat glands. They are innervated by sympathetic nervous system, however, they have muscarinic receptors, NOT adrenergic receptors.


How might you feel when your sympathetic nervous system is simulated?

With current technology it is not yet possible to simulate a sympathetic nervous system


What is the abbreviation for the sympathetic nervous system?

The abbreviation for the Central Nervous System = CNS.


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 parts of the gastrointestinal tract are innervated by the somatic nervous system?

GI tract is innervated locally by the enteric nervous system and activity of the Cajal pacemaker cells and by the autonomic nervous system (sympathetic / parasympathetic). It is not innervated by the somatic nervous system. I'm a neurobiologist/physiologist.

What fibers are the sweat glands innervated by?

Sweat glands are innervated by adrenergic sympathetic nerve fibers from the autonomic nervous system. These fibers release norepinephrine, which stimulates the sweat glands to produce sweat.

What is innervate?

Innervated by both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. This allows for both branches of autonomic NS (sympathetic and parasympathetic) to precisely control an organ's activity.
