Comparison of sympathetic and parasympathetic effects on organ function
sweat glands sympathetic effect
increased in production of sweat
heart function
contraction rate, force of contraction
bowel and bladder sympathetic effect
decrease in emptying
gastrointestional sympathetic effect
decrease in peristalsis, secretions
pancreas sympathetic effect
decrease in secretions
heart parasympathic effect
decreased in contraction rate
lungs parasympathetic effect
decreased in diameter of bronchi increased in secretions
eye parasympathetic effect
decreased in diameter of pupil and increased in curvature of lens
lungs function
diameter of bronchi, diameter of blood vessels, secretions
eye function
diameter of pupil, curvature of lens
bowel and bladder function
emptying
external genitalia function
erection of penis or clitoris
liver function
glucose release, glycogen synthesis
bowel and bladder parasympathetic effect
increase in emptying
external genitalia parasympathetic effect
increase in erection of penis or clitoris
liver sympathetic effect
increase in glucose release
liver parasympathetic effect
increase in glycogen synthesis
gastrointestinal parasympathetic effect
increase in peristalsis, secretions
lacrimal gland parasympathetic effect
increase in production of tears
adrenal medulla sympathetic effect
increase in secretion of epinephrine
pancreas parasympathetic effect
increase in secretions
salivary glands sympathetic effect
increase in thick secretion
salivary glands parasympathetic effect
increase in thin profuse secretion
lacrimal glands sympathetic effect
increase in vasomotor to blood vessels in lacrimal gland
