Directions:
The
Autonomic Nervous System can be challenging to understand because it is
connected to virtually every body function in opposite ways. We are
going to explore the physiology of the ANS in this discussion by looking at
specific examples of how it works.
Initial
post: For
your first discussion post, describe how the parasympathetic nervous
system influences one function in your body. For example,
the parasympathetic nervous system causes decreased blood
pressure. If you chose this body function, you would describe the physiology
behind the decreased blood pressure. How does it happen? What occurs in the
heart/blood vessels? Which scenarios or external factors would cause the parasympathetic nervous
system to activate this response?
