What division of the autonomic nervous system mediates the reflex release of saliva?
The parasympathetic nervous system stimulates salivary gland secretion, and accelerates peristalsis, so, in keeping with the rest and digest functions, appropriate PNS activity mediates digestion of food and indirectly, the absorption of nutrients.

enteric nervous system is responsible for the pupillary light reflex
What else can I help you with?
As part of which nervous system do postganglionic neurons release norepinephrine?
Sympathetic nervous system, which is part of autonomic nervous system.
Which has more specific local control the sympathetic or parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system?
The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system typically has more specific local control. This is because sympathetic nerves release norepinephrine at specific target tissues, allowing for precise modulation of target organ responses. In contrast, the parasympathetic division releases acetylcholine more diffusely, leading to more widespread effects on multiple target organs.
What controls the sweat glands?
Your sweat glands are controlled by autonomic nervous system. They get the nervous supply through the sympathetic nerves. But functionally they are parasympathetic nerves, because the acetylcholine is secreted over there at the terminal end.
What system works with the nervous system?
The nervous system is comprised of two parts, somatic and autonomic. The somatic nervous system is the control over your skeletal muscles. It is voluntary. The autonomic system works automatically. It has system wide effects known as sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and digest).
how process is governed by the autonomic nervous system?
The autonomic nervous system controls involuntary bodily functions such as heart rate, digestion, and breathing. It consists of two main branches: the sympathetic nervous system, which activates the fight-or-flight response, and the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes rest and relaxation. These two branches work in opposition to maintain homeostasis in the body.
What division of the autonomic nervous system targets the liver to stimulate the release of glucose into the blood?
sympathetic
As part of which nervous system do postganglionic neurons release norepinephrine?
Sympathetic nervous system, which is part of autonomic nervous system.
The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system is MOST likely to be activated when you are?
The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system is most likely to be activated during "fight or flight" situations when the body needs to respond quickly to a perceived threat or stressor. This can lead to a variety of physiological responses such as increased heart rate, dilated pupils, and the release of adrenaline to prepare the body for action.
All preganglionic axons of the autonomic nervous system release what?
acetylcholine (ACH)
Can a person release adrenaline on their own?
No. Adrenaline is released in response to the autonomic nervous system. 'Autonomic' indicating that it is an automatic process regulated by the body and is not under voluntary control. Other components of the nervous system, such as the somatic nervous system, are able to be voluntarily controlled. Adrenaline release is regulated by the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system. Adrenaline is released in response to various stimuli such as: exercise, stress, fear, decreased blood pressure (including blood loss), and more. B.) Yes , there are some few people in the world have it they can release a small amount on their own but not like when they are in fear or rush.
Does the sympathetic division secrete norepinephrine?
Yes, when stimulated the sympathetic postganglionic fibers release norepinepherine (20%) and epinepherine (80%).
Difference between parasympathetic and enteric nervous systems?
There really is no difference between these two levels of classification of the nervous system, but rather the parasympathetic and enteric division of the nervous system work with the sympathetic division to control smooth muscles, cardiac muscles, and glands in the body. They are both components of the autonomic nervous system.
List the division of the autonomic nervous system?
the autonomic nervous system (ANS) includes the peripheal nerves and ganglia on either side of the spinal cord ( note: some textbooks include the ANS as a division pf the peripheal nervous system both ways are correct.)
The autonomic nervous system and the pituitary gland are controlled by the?
The autonomic nervous system is controlled by the brainstem, hypothalamus, and spinal cord. The pituitary gland is controlled by the hypothalamus through the release of specific hormones that regulate pituitary function.
Which has more specific local control the sympathetic or parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system?
The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system typically has more specific local control. This is because sympathetic nerves release norepinephrine at specific target tissues, allowing for precise modulation of target organ responses. In contrast, the parasympathetic division releases acetylcholine more diffusely, leading to more widespread effects on multiple target organs.
What role do the parasympathetic division of the ans play in digestion?
The parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system stimulates digestion. It activates salivation, which functions in digestion as the beginning of breaking the food down. It also stimulates the gall bladder to release bile for digestion. Digestion in the small intestine is increased and gastric juice in the stomach is secreted.
What controls the sweat glands?
Your sweat glands are controlled by autonomic nervous system. They get the nervous supply through the sympathetic nerves. But functionally they are parasympathetic nerves, because the acetylcholine is secreted over there at the terminal end.
