Spinal Nerves
31 pairs, named for region of cord, dorsal(small), ventral(.5 inches)
22
New cards
Plexuses
serve motor and sensory needs
23
New cards
Cervical plexus
(C1-C5), diaphragm, shoulder, neck

27
New cards
Autonomic Nervous System
no control over it, regulate cardiac muscles, smooth muscles, glands. Homeostasis relies on it
28
New cards
Sympathetic Division
"flight or fight," continues until hormonesbreak down
29
New cards
Parasympathetic Division
"resting and digesting," regulate calm heart rates
30
New cards
Both divisions
they work in a dynamic balance (NOT ALL OR NONE).
