Ans) Autonomic Nervous System:
- The autonomic nervous system controls the insides of the body: the viscera or gut. It carries information about the inside of the body to the CNS and controls the action of internal organs, including the gut, the heart, the secretion of epinephrine (adrenalin) and norepinephrine (noradrenalin) from the medulla (middle part) of the adrenal gland, etc.
The autonomic nervous system plays an essential role in keeping the body's internal environment (temperature, salt concentration, blood sugar, oxygen and carbon dioxide level in blood, etc) in proper balance, a condition called homeostasis.
- The autonomic nervous system also plays a major part in emotional experience and expression. When you are emotionally excited, the body shows many changes: blood pressure and heart beat increase, mouth is often dry, stomach has "butterflies" in it. These and other body actions are controlled by the autonomic nervous system.
- The autonomic nervous system also has two divisions: the sympatheticndivision and theparasympatheticdivision. These two divisions have antagonistic (opposing) effects on the internal organs they innervate (send nerves to = act on).
- The sympathetic division, shown at the left, is the emergency system. It prepares the body to put out energy and to protect it from effects of injury. It shuts the gut down, speeds up the heart, increases blood pressure, dilates (makes bigger) the pupils of the eyes, makes more glucose (blood sugar) available in the blood for energy, etc. Cannon described these reactions as preparation for fight or flight (running away).
- The parasympathetic division, shown at the right, is the "housekeeping" division. It acts to replace and recover from the activities of living. Its action is (almost always) the opposite of the sympathetic division. It activates the gut for digestion, slows the heart rate, decreases the blood pressure, etc
Describe the autonomic nervous system and how this can serve as a defense mechanism for the...
Also please answer only one of the following questions: Describe the location and function of the various joints in the body and the developmental care regarding the musculoskeletal system. Describe the autonomic nervous system and how this can serve as a defense mechanism for the boy. Give an example. Please I want a new references... thanks
Describe the function of the autonomic nervous system for the body. What are the different branches of autonomic nervous system and how do thry develop autonomic tone? Be sure to define what autonomic tone is within your response and how the system cannot differentiate between external or internal stress.
Describe the different types of adrenergic receptors in the autonomic nervous system. Which neurotransmitter binds to each type? For those that bind more than one neurotransmitter, how does the response to the neurotransmitters compare?
please help 1) Briefly describe the role of the autonomic nervous system in the different parts of the body.
Explain how nerve impulse transmission in the autonomic nervous system is different from that of the central nervous system.
describe the anatomy and physiology of the teo branches of the autonomic nervous system. a complete answer would include at least a list of the peripheral nerves that carry sympathetic and parasympathetic fibers, structures innervatef by these branches, locations of ganglia, pre- and post- ganglionic fiber length, neurotransmitters used, and the general effects these branches have on the organs they innervate.
Define the following terms in your own words: adrenergic, cholinergic, autonomic nervous system, sympathetic nervous system, parasympathetic nervous system, agonist, antagonist, rest and digest response, fight or flight response, neurotransmitters. Describe the steps of synaptic transmission.
Describe how the "digestive system" is an example of the following pillars of physiology: homeostasis, chemistry, physics, autonomic nervous system and energy. Note: I am not looking for a very very specific answer. It can be related to these pillars in any way! Homeostasis: Chemistry: Physics: Autonomic Nervous System Energy:
1.Compare and contrast the actions of the parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system. Explain how the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems regulate the heart, digestive tract, respiratory tract, reproductive tracts, arteries, salivary and sweat glands, and portions of the eye. 2. Describe the nurse’s role in the pharmacologic management of patients receiving drugs affecting the parasympathetic nervous system. Identify which drugs would be used for paralytic ileus, GERD, and irritable bowel syndrome and explain the mechanism of...
