Definition
| Also known as the Craniosacral system, this system is one of rest and digest; a protective system, nerves come out of the cranium and the sacrum (tail) of the spinal cord, has long preganglionic neurons, short postganglionic |

Term
| Parasympathetic System Actions |
|
Definition
Eyes – accommodation, miosis, lacrimation
Nose – mucus secretion
Mouth – salivation
Lungs – bronchoconstriction
Heart – decrease heart rate
GI – acid secretion, peristalsis
Bladder – urination
Reproductive – erection |
|
|
Term
| Sympathetic Nervous System Actions |
|
Definition
Eyes – mydriasis
Nose – constricts vessels which will dry out mucus
Mouth – sweating to drop temperature
Lungs – bronchodilation
Heart – increase heart rate
GI – glycogenolysis, decreased motility of the gut, renin secretion which helps body retain salt/water
Bladder – urinary retention
Reproductive – relaxes uterus, ejaculation in male |

Method used by neurons (nerve cells)
Each neuron is individual unit
They are released at nerve terminals
Rapid system |

Term
|
Definition
Released by endocrine cells into blood stream
Broad effects on target cells
Slower system than neurotransmitters |

Definition
D1 Dopaminergic receptors - Activation will increase blood flow to the kidneys due to vasodilation of the renal vascular beds
D2 Dopaminergic receptors - Found on presynaptic adrenergic neurons activation interferes with norepinephrine release |
