Easton's heart is beating rapidly, his pupils are dialated, and his mouth is dry. This response was triggered by which division of his nervous system?
Sympathetic
Parasympathetic
Somatic
Afferent
Peripheral
division of the nervous system responsible for involuntary activity of cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and glands
Somatic
Autonomic
Which of the following is NOT a function of the autonomic nervous system?
regulating leg muscle contractions during walking
controlling muscle movements in the stomach that push food through
regulating heart rate and respiration rate
controlling contraction of the arrector pili muscles (goosebumps) in the skin
Why do people get sleepy after eating a big meal?
The sugar from food stimulates the sympathetic nervous system.
Digestion is increased by the parasympathetic nervous system, which also relaxes the body.
The body needs to maintain homeostasis of blood sugar concentration, so the body shuts down.
The body switches over to the parasympathetic system because the sympathetic system has been active for too long.
