What is true of the sympathetic nervous system?

Your sympathetic nervous system is best known for its role in responding to dangerous or stressful situations. In these situations, your sympathetic nervous system activates to speed up your heart rate, deliver more blood to areas of your body that need more oxygen or other responses to help your get out of danger.

What is the sympathetic nervous system psychology?

The sympathetic nervous system's two primary functions are regulating homeostasis and instigating the fight or flight response. During times of stress, the sympathetic nervous system can dilate the pupils, elevate the heart rate, increase sweating, and elevate the blood pressure.

Which best describes the sympathetic nervous system quizlet?

The sympathetic nervous system arouses the body and expends energy. It is responsible for our fight and flight response. The parasympathetic nervous system calms the body and conserves energy. It is responsible for our rest and digest response.

Which of the following is true of the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system?

The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system has its preganglionic neurons cell bodies in the thoracic and lumbar segments of the spinal cord or known as thoracolumbar distribution.
