The sympathetic nervous system has long been recognized as being active in correlation with excitation, but the origin of the term sympathetic was coined by Galen. He identified the sympathetic system as part of the nervous system, noted that the sympathetic chain follows the spinal cord 'in sympathy' and named it as such. It was only much later that Langley in the early 1800's first used the term para-sympathetic and took until Dale and Eccles to discovery something of it's function.

The sympathetic nervous system is a part of the autonomic nervous system that controls the body's fight or flight response.

The sympathetic nervous system can be classified as adrenergic, based on the main neurotransmitters used.
What are the glands of the sympathetic nervous system?
The nervous system has three glands, the hypothalamus, pituitary, and pineal.
What component of the nervous system is associated with the fight or flight?
sympathetic nervous system.
Sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system's are subdivisions of what nervous system?
The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are subdivisions of the autonomic nervous system.
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 activates the sympathetic nervous system?
epinephrine and norepinephrine stimulate the sympathetic nervous system
What hormone activated the sympathetic nervous system?
epinephrine and norepinephrine stimulate the sympathetic nervous system
What components of the nervous system is associated with the fight or flight response?
sympathetic nervous system.
Who Activates the sympathetic nervous system?
epinephrine and norepinephrine stimulate the sympathetic nervous system
Is vasoconstriction controlled by the sympathetic or parasympathetic nervous system?
Vasoconstriction is primarily controlled by the sympathetic nervous system.
What comprises the nervous system?
The Sympathetic Nervous System and the Parasympathetic Nervous System
The effects of the sympathetic nervous system are essentially opposite of which nervous system?
The effects of the sympathetic nervous system are essential opposite those of the parasympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system accelerates functions such as heart rate and breathing and the parasympathetic slows these bodily processes down. The sympathetic also inhibits digestion, whereas the parasympathetic stimulates digestion. The sympathetic nervous system produces "fight-or-flight" reactions, while the parasympathetic functions under relaxed conditions.
Which nervous system controls involuntary functions such as heart rate and digestion and is divided into the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system?
The autonomic nervous system is divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems.
Which nervous system raises blood pressure?
sympathetic nervous system
