method of mounting the preparation and the method of stimulation of the sympathetic nerve. The classic way of mounting the piece of intestine is to suspend it vertically in a muscle bath between an aeration tube and a recording lever. The problems with this technique are (1) stress placed on the intestine when the chamber is emptied during the process of changing solutions‚ and (2) difficulty in stimulating the sympathetic nerve due to the fact that the preparation is totally submerged in

body involves an internal balance in order for the body to properly function. This system is known as dual innervations. These are innervations affected by two systems known as the parasympathetic and sympathetic nerve systems. The effector organs for the sympathetic system include: the smooth muscle of blood vessels‚ lungs‚ viscera‚ scalp‚ pupils‚ the heart‚ and glands. The effector organs for the parasympathetic system include: lacrimal glands‚ salivary glands‚ neck‚ blood vessels of the head‚ thoracoabdominal

Who Determines When is Life Gone From a Person on Life Support Systems? The judge should have the final say in when a person should be taken off of life support‚ with two disagreeable parties. Unfortunately‚ the person on life support does not have the ability to determine when to end life support. The battle is perhaps one of the most important cases the court system has dealt with. For the first time in history‚ medical ethics have been under great inquiry. Over the past few years‚ there

As discussed in our reading the process of stress is not event specific‚ but rather a generalized response by our nervous system to certain chemicals produced when we are activated. That activation can be a Bear charging us‚ or a paper that is due‚ or

Negative feedback as a form of regulation Feedback control systems This occurs when a n important variable sometimes known as a key variable e.g. pH of blood and tissue fluid‚ deviates from the accepted range from the accepted range or limits which then triggers responses that return the variable to within the ‘normal range’. Deviation produces a negative response to counteract the deviation. An example of a negative feedback system within the body is the liver when blood glucose levels fall

prepare for emergencies? The answer lies in the Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS). It is the branch of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) that controls the body’s reaction to physical and emotional stressors. The sympathetic branch activates the glands and organs that defend the body against attack. It is called the fight-or-flight response. This is a primitive response designed to protect from danger. When danger is perceived‚ the sympathetic nervous system responds immediately to prepare a person to

Autonomic nervous system The heart is controlled by the autonomic nervous system which is two branches called the sympathetic nerves system and the parasympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system is active when the body is undergoing muscular work such when we are doing exercise‚ like when running or jumping. It causes the increase in the heart rate and strengths the heartbeat. The parasympathetic nervous system calms the heart down and is active when
