Parasympathetic function
control the body's response while at rest
Parasympathetic originates in
spinal cord and medulla
Parasympathetic activates response of
rest and digest
Parasympathetic Neuron pathways
longer pathways slower system
Parasympathetic General body response
counterbalance; restores body to state of calm
Parasympathetic Cardiovascular System (heart rate)
decrease heart rate
Parasympathetic Pulmonary System (lungs)
Bronchial tubes constrict
Parasympathetic Musculoskeletal System
muscles relax
Parasympathetic Pupils
constrict
Parasympathetic Gastrointestinal System
increase stomach movement and secretions
Parasympathetic Salivary Glands
Saliva production increases
Parasympathetic Adrenal Gland
no involvement
Parasympathetic Glycogen to Glucose Conversion
no involvement
Parasympathetic Urinary Response
increase in urinary output
sympathetic Function
control the body's response during perceived threat
sympathetic Originates in
spinal cord, thoracic and lumbar spinal cord
sympathetic Activates response of
fight or flight
sympathetic Neuron pathways
very short neurons, faster system
sympathetic General body response
body speeds up, tenses up, becomes more alert. function not critical to survival shut down
sympathetic Cardiovascular system heart rate
increase contraction, heart rate
sympathetic pulmonary system lungs
bronchial tubes dilate
sympathetic musculoskeletal system
muscles contract
sympathetic pupils
dilate
sympathetic gastrointestinal system
decreases stomach movement and secretions
sympathetic salivary glands
saliva production decreases
sympathetic andrenal gland
release adrenaline
sympathetic glycogen to glucose conversion
increase; converts glycogen to glucose for muscle energy
sympathetic urinary response
Decrease in urinary output
