What are the two components of the autonomic nervous system? – correct answer Sympathetic
Parasympathetic
What is the Sympathetic nervous system? - correct answer the division of the autonomic nervous system
that arouses the body, mobilizing its energy in stressful situations
What is the Parasympathetic nervous system? correct answer - the division of the autonomic nervous
system that calms the body, conserving its energy
What are the two divisions of the autonomic nervous system? - correct answer One for every day and
then one for special situations
What is the difference between the Parasympathetic and Sympathetic systems? - Parasympathetic - Rest
and digest
Sympathetic - correct answer Flight or Flight
What are some of the Sympathetic responses? - correct answer -Increased heart rate
-More Blood to muscles
-Elevated Blood Glucose
-Increased heart rate
-Sweat to cool the body
, -Relaxation of bladder
-Constriction of blood vessels
What are the two segments of the autonomic nervous system? - correct answer GVA and GVE
We will not discuss the GVA of the Autonomic Nervous system.
GVE is the classic part of the Autonomic Nervous system. (The motor Part)
Where does the GVA develop from? - correct answer Develop from neural crest cells
Where does the GVE develop from? correct answer - Develop from lateral regions of neural tube - The
ANS
What is the GVE system? - correct answer Motor to smooth muscles, cardiac muscle, and glands
What are Preganglionic Motor neurons? correct answer - The visceral motor neurons that are located in
the spinal cord
What are Postganglionic motor neurons? correct answer - The visceral motor neurons located outside of
the CNS
There are peripheral ganglia
