Constrict

Function of the Sympathetic Nervous System

Control the body's response during perceived threat.

Function of the Parasympathetic Nervous System

Sympathetic Nervous System activates response of

Fight-or-flight

Sympathetic Cardiovascular System (heart rate)

Increases contraction, heart rate

Parasympathetic Gastrointestinal System

Sympathetic Glycogen to Glucose Conversion

No involvement

Parasympathetic Glycogen to Glucose Conversion

No involvement

Sympathetic Adrenal Gland

Releases adrenaline

Parasympathetic Nervous System activates response of

Rest and digest

Sympathetic Salivary Glands

Saliva production decreases

Parasympathetic Salivary Glands

Saliva production increases

The Parasympathetic Nervous System originates in the

Spinal cord, medulla

The Sympathetic Nervous System originates in the

Spinal cord, thoracic and lumbar spinal cord

Parasympathetic Nervous System

The parasympathetic nervous system is one of the two main divisions of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Its general function is to control homeostasis and the body's rest-and-digest response.

Sympathetic Nervous System

The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is one of two main divisions of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Its general action is to mobilize the body's fight-or-flight response.

Sympathetic Neurons Pathways

Very short neurons, faster system
