The Autonomic Nervous System: Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Divisions

The video explores the nervous system, focusing on the autonomic nervous system and its divisions: sympathetic and parasympathetic. It explains how these systems control involuntary actions like heart rate and digestion. The sympathetic division handles emergency responses, while the parasympathetic manages rest and maintenance. The video also covers the anatomical differences between these divisions and their roles in regulating body functions.

Explain the significance of the preganglionic and postganglionic neurons in the autonomic nervous system.

How do the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions work together to maintain homeostasis?
