All of these

Sympathetic postganglionic axons diverge more extensively resulting in simultaneous activation of many tissues.

Acetycholinesterase quickly inactivates acetylcholine while norepinephrine remains in the synaptic cleft longer.

Epinephrine and norepinephrine are secreted into the blood by the adrenal medulla intensifying the effects of norepinephrine released from sympathetic postganglionic axons.

The sympathetic division, is the emergency system. It prepares the body to put out energy and to protect it from effects of injury. It shuts the gut down, speeds up the heart, increases blood pressure, dilates (makes bigger) the pupils of the eyes, makes more glucose (blood sugar) available in the blood for energy, etc. Preparation for fight or flight (running away).

The parasympathetic division, is the "housekeeping" division. It acts to replace and recover from the activities of living. Its action is (almost always) the opposite of the sympathetic division. It activates the gut for digestion, slows the heart rate, decreases the blood pressure, etc

What is the balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic activity called?

Homeostasis is the balance between the two systems. At each target effector, dual innervation determines activity. For example, the heart receives connections from both the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. One causes heart rate to increase, whereas the other causes heart rate to decrease.

What is the relationship between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems quizlet?

What is the relationship between the sympathetic + parasympathetic nervous systems? Both affect the same organs + tissues but in opposite ways. The sympathetic prepares the body to deal with stress/threat and the parasympathetic regulates and restores the body to regular function.

16) What do the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems share in common? B) Both systems are divisions of the autonomic nervous system.

What are the alternate names of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems?

The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is also known as the thoracolumbar nervous system. Neurons begin in the thorax at T1 and travel down to the lumbar region at L2. The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) is also known as the craniosacral nervous system.
