hie there, does that simply means sympathetic stimulation helps increase the heart rate.

And parasympathetic stimulation helps decrease the heart rate?

Please correct me if i am wrong:

Sympathetic: movements such as exercising and running.

Parasympathetic: movements such as sleeping, sitting, relaxing?

Thanks load :D

[o2demand]

You got it! :)

sympathetic..."fight/flight"..­.either going to fight or run like hell from the lion...therefore increase HR,BP etc

parasympathetic..."rest/digest­" after eating...like taking a nap..decrease in HR BP

thats a simplified analogy but hope it helps

enjoy!

4.What are the two branches of the autonomic nervous system? What effect does each branch have on the body? Explain using examples of situations in which each system may be activated and identify a neurotransmitter released in each case

thank you

It was easy to understand.

we learned this stuff in high school (AP biology)... perhaps if you elaborate on the pharmacological relevance a little more, it will more helpful for the rest of us (med. students)

I've enjoyed this and I feel it helps me to really understand. I looked on your website as well as the channel here on youtube,.. and I haven't found the part II to this video. Am I looking for the wrong title? Is the rest of this lesson under a different name?
