Introduction:

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) enhances sympathetic response in the situation of emotional or physical stress. During such situations, the sympathetic division of ANS dominates the parasympathetic nervous system and affect different organs of the body differently.

Students have asked these similar questions
Indicate the results of sympathetic activation of the following structures: sweat glands, eye pupils, adrenal medullae, heart, bronchioles of the lungs, liver, blood vessels of vigorously working skeletal muscles, blood vessels of digestive viscera, salivary glands.
Sympathetic and parasympathetic preganglionic fibers release the neurotransmitter:
Briefly compare autonomic neurons to somatic motor neurons in terms of types of effectors, number of neurons forming the pathway, speed of conduction along fibers, and neurotransmitters released. Compare and contrast the basic details of sympathetic pathways to different body regions and the details of parasympathetic pathways to the same regions (especially the length of the pre-synaptic and post-synaptic fibers and relative locations of the ganglia).
