Term
-with the eye as the target organ, what is the sympathetic effect? parasympathetic effect?
Definition
-sympathetic:pupil dilation via the contraction of the radial muscle of the iris
-parasympathetic: pupil constriction via contraction of the circular muscle of the iris
Term
-with the digestive glands as the target organ, what is the sympathetic effect? parasympathetic effect?
Definition
-sympathetic: decrease secretions (beta2)
-parasympathetic: increase secretions (M3)
Term
-with the digestive tract (smooth muscle) as the target organ, what is the sympathetic effect? parasympathetic effect?
Definition
-sympathetic: decrease motility & contractility; sphincter constriction (contraction of the smooth muscle) with alpha1
-parasympathetic: increase motility & contractility (M3)
Term
-with the heart as the target organ, what is the sympathetic effect? parasympathetic?
Definition
-sympathetic: increase heart rate (beta1)
-parasympathetic (decrease heart rate (M2)
Term
-with the liver as the target organ, what is the sympathetic effect? parasympathetic?
Definition
-sympathetic: glycogen breaks down & glucose released into bloodstream
-parasympathetic: NO INNERVATION
Term
-with the blood vessel (smooth muscle) as the target organ, what is the sympathetic effect? parasympathetic?
Definition

-sympathetic: vasoconstriction (contraction), decrease in blood flow with alpha1

-parasympathetic: NO INNERVATION *those serving external genitalia, specifically eractile tissue, are via M3 receptors

Term
-with the respiratory system as the target organ, what is the sympathetic effect? parasympathetic?
Definition
-sympathetic: relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle, increase in airflow via beta2
-parasympathetic: contraction of bronchial smooth muscle (M3)
