What else can I help you with?
What happens when the sympathetic division of the nervous system is stimulated?
it stimulates the gastrointestinal activity
What part of the autonomic nervous system causes an increase in digestive tract mobility?
Stimulation of the Parasympathetic nervous system causes an increase in digestive tract mobility. When stimulated the parasympathetic post-ganglionic neurons release a hormone called Acetylcholine. This causes the Digestive tract to increase its contractions. Counteracting this increase in digestive tract mobility is the sympathetic nervous system, which releases a hormone called noradrenaline which slows down the digestive tracts contractions. This is how the Parasympathetic Nervous System gets the name "rest and digest"
How does an increase in the sympathetic nervous system affect stroke volume?
An increase in the sympathetic nervous system can lead to an increase in stroke volume. This is because the sympathetic nervous system stimulates the heart to beat faster and with more force, resulting in more blood being pumped out with each heartbeat.
What will the sympathetic nervous system do to the cardic muscle?
Sympathetic nervous system activation will increase the frequency and force of cardiac myocyte contractility
What is the role of the sympathetic Nervous System on the gastrointestinal tract?
During sympathetic discharge, e.g., if you running away from a lion, gastrointestinal motility is suppressed and blood is diverted to muscles. At this point digestion is not a priority - at least not for the prey.
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.
An increase in heart rate that occurs in anticipation of competition is due to?
sympathetic nervous system
What component of the nervous system is associated with the fight or flight?
sympathetic nervous system.
What of the effects could result from activation of the sympathetic nervous system?
A prominent class of motor neurons in the sympathetic nervous system are involved with vasoconstriction also with an increase in the heart rate.
What is sympathetic stimulation?
Sympathetic stimulations are signals to the body that imply stress. Sympathetic stimulation stimulates the sympathetic part of the peripheral nervous system and results in multiple response such as increased cardiac output, dilation of the pupil, inhibition of the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract and urinary bladder, and erection of the penis.
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
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.
