Peripheral nervous system

    Cards (25)

    • The parasympathetic division restores the body to its normal state after a stress response has occurred.
    • The sympathetic division prepares the body to respond to stressful situations by increasing heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration.
    • The autonomic nervous system is responsible for controlling the body's internal organs, such as heart rate, digestion, and breathing.
    • The sympathetic division is responsible for the fight or flight response, while the parasympathetic division is responsible for the relaxation response.
    • The ANS consists of two divisions: the sympathetic division and the parasympathetic division.
    • The autonomic nervous system (ANS) controls involuntary functions such as heart rate, digestion, breathing, and blood pressure.
    • The autonomic nervous system is responsible for regulating involuntary functions such as breathing, digestion, and heartbeat.
    • The peripheral nervous system consists of nerves that connect the central nervous system (CNS) with other parts of the body.
    • The somatic nervous system controls voluntary movements through skeletal muscles.
    • The somatic nervous system controls voluntary movements and sensory information from external stimuli.
    • The peripheral nervous system consists of all nerves outside the brain and spinal cord.
    • The sympathetic division activates the "fight or flight" response during times of danger or stress.
    • The parasympathetic division helps restore the body to its resting state after a stressor has been removed.
    • The ANS is divided into two branches: the sympathetic division and the parasympathetic division.
    • The sympathetic division activates the "fight-or-flight" response during times of danger or stress.
    • The parasympathetic division promotes relaxation and restoration when there are no immediate threats.
    • The autonomic nervous system has two branches: the sympathetic branch and the parasympathetic branch.
    • The autonomic nervous system regulates bodily processes that are not under conscious control.
    • The somatic nervous system is responsible for voluntary movements and sensory input from the environment.
    • The somatic nervous system includes motor neurons that control muscle movement and sensory neurons that transmit information about touch, temperature, pain, and pressure to the CNS.
    • The autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary bodily processes like heart rate, digestion, and respiration.
    • The somatic nervous system is responsible for voluntary movements and sensations.
    • The parasympathetic division restores normal bodily function after a stress response has occurred.
    • The sympathetic division prepares the body to respond to stressful situations by increasing heart rate, dilating pupils, and releasing adrenaline.
    • The autonomic nervous system plays an important role in maintaining homeostasis within the body.
