- 2. During a sympathetic response, cortisol levels increase, which as a result, causes an increase in what other levels in the blood
- 4. When acetylcholine is secreted in the parasympathetic pathway, this type of receptor binds onto the neurohormone of acetylcholine secreted by the post ganglionic fibers
- 5. During a sympathetic response, this organ of the body is inhibited from contractions (helps us store urine)
- 7. The part of the nervous system that includes the autonomic nervous system
- 8. A sub-category of the autonomic nervous system that initiates the fight-or-flight response
- 10. This type of activity is regulated by the enteric system of the autonomic nervous system
- 14. This type of ganglia helps transport sensory signals from the periphery to integration centers in the central nervous system
- 16. A sub-category of the autonomic nervous system that regulates bodily functions such as digestion when the person is at rest
- 18. Preparation for this type of activity is regulated by the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system
- 22. A hydrophilic amino acid derivative hormone that can bind onto either alpha or beta receptors during a fight-or-flight response and is released by post ganglionic fibers
- 24. This sort of response/action/ or regulation is done by the autonomic nervous system
- 25. Under a sympathetic nervous system response/ fight-or-flight, this happens to our pupils
Down
- 1. This happens to our heartbeat when our sympathetic nervous system is activated in response to some type of danger
- 3. This type of response is activated in the face of escaping danger by the sympathetic nervous system
- 6. During a sympathetic response, this organ of the respiratory system is dilated to increase the intake of oxygen
- 9. During a parasympathetic response, this happens to our flow of saliva
- 11. A hormone that can only bind onto one receptor during a fight-or-flight response and is released by post ganglionic fibers
- 12. A neurohormone that binds onto a cholinergic receptor when the body is resting and digesting
- 13. This system works in concert with the autonomic nervous system to control and integrate the digestion and absorption of food
- 15. A reaction that inhibits pre-parasympathetic neurons and activates pre-sympathetic neurons of the hypothalamus
- 17. This part of the autonomic nervous system is in charge of regulating functions of the gut
- 19. When comparing the effects of the sympathetic nervous system to that of the parasympathetic nervous system, we can say that they are mostly ___
- 20. Under the motor (efferent division), this type of motor is under the category of the autonomic nervous system and innervates the glands, and smooth and cardiac muscles
- 21. This sort of 'action' would activate the parasympathetic nervous system
- 23. The autonomic nervous system regulates what kind of state in a person's body
