The sympathetic nervous system is also called as the thoraco-lumbar division, as it contains the preganglionic neurons of the thoraco-lumbar outflow. The sympathetic nervous system is concerned with preparing the organism for emergency (fight or flight).
1Q).
Epinephrine and norepinephrine are the endocrinal secretions of adrenal medulla of the adrenal gland. Norepinephrine is the neurotransmitter that is released at the effector organ (postganglionic end) innervated by the sympathetic nervous system. The different types of adrenergic receptors are,

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...
Compare and contrast the effect on target tissues for each sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions and determine which division would most likely affect somatic nervous system and why?
Identify the two major divisions of the peripheral nervous system. Differentiate between the somatic (motor) nervous system and the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system in terms of (1) overall anatomic organization (numbers, types of nerves); (2) neurotransmitters made and released by the nerves; and (3) the targets (effectors) of the neurotransmitters’ actions, whether those structures are innervated by one or both branches of the autonomic nervous system, and the effects of activating those structures. ...
