|
|
The parasympathetic divison has what type of pre-ganglionic and post ganglionic fibers |
Long pre-ganglionic
Short post-ganglionic |
|
|
List the seven effects of the sympathetic nervous system |
Heightened mental alertness increased metabolic rate reduced digestive and urinary functions activation of energy reserves increased respiratory rate increased heart rate activation of sweat glands |
|
|
List five effects of the parasympathetic nervous system |
decreased meatabolic rate
decreased heart rate and blood pressure increased secretion by saliviatory and sweat glands increased motility and blood flow in digestive tract stimulation of urinary and defecation. |
