Question
Chapter 15, Problem 1CSL
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The necessity of having an expensive mechanism of mass activation response of the sympathetic nervous system at disposal.
Concept introduction:
The sympathetic nervous system is most active when something exciting is going to happen. Mass activation of the sympathetic nervous system refers to the stimulation of various body structures through sympathetic neurons. Mass activation is often a response to a crisis.
