● 1) somatic motor system and 2) autonomic nervous system. Answer:
two major subdivisions of the PNS
● 1. parasympathetic
2. sympathetic. Answer: what are the two divisions of the autonomic
nervous system?
● somatic motor system. Answer: this system controls voluntary
movement of muscles
● 1) regulation of the heart 2) regulation of secretory glands (salivary,
gastric, sweat, and bronchial glands, and 3) regulation of smooth
muscles (bronchi, blood vessels, urogenital system, and GI tract).
Answer: three principal functions of autonomic nervous system which
includes both parasympathetic nervous system and sympathetic nervous
system
● 1) slowing of heart rate
2) increased gastric secretion
3) emptying of bladder
, 4) emptying of the bowel
5) focusing the eye for near vision
6) constricting the pupil
7) contracting bronchial smooth muscle. Answer: seven regulatory
functions of the parasympathetic nerves
● 1) regulating the cardiovascular system
2) regulating body temperature
3) implementing the acute stress response (flight-or-fight). Answer: three
regulatory functions of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS)
● 1) maintenance of blood flow to the brain
2) redistribution of blood flow during exercise
3) compensation for loss of blood, primarily by vasoconstriction.
Answer: the three homeostatic objectives of the sympathetic nervous
system
● 1) increasing HR and BP
2) shunting blood away from the skin and viscera and into skeletal
muscle
3) dilating the bronchi to improve oxygenation
4) dilating the pupils
