Part A: 1. Imagine you are being chased through the woods by a hungry bear. a. Which nervous system would engage (parasympathetic or sympathetic)? Why is this? b. What would be the effects of this system on your: i. Eyes ii. Skin iii. Respiratory System iv. d. Skeletal muscles c. Describe the neurotransmitter family that is activated in this situation. 2. Imagine that you are home with the flu. a. Which nervous system would engage? Why is this? b. What would be the effects of this system on your: i. Eyes ii. Skin iii. Respiratory System iv. Skeletal muscles c. Describe the neurotransmitter family that is activated in this situation.
Part B: Jack is a 78-year-old man. While most of the time Jack is able to live by himself, he does often forget where he put his car keys or what time his next doctor’s appointment is. 1. Would you classify Jack as an Alzheimer’s patient? Why or why not? Provide one (1) supporting fact. 2. Describe one (1) type of treatment or assistance you would recommend for Jack, with one (1) supporting fact.
In response to acute stress flight or fight response occurs and it is under the control of sympathetic nervous system.i t causes dilation of pupil in the eye,ic causes piloerection and perspiration of skin, bronchodilation,in skeletal muscle activity.E epinephrine and norepinephrine are the primary neurotransmitters of sympathetic nervous system.
Parasympathetic nervous system is involved in flu.
It causes -pupillary constriction,d decreases blood flow to skin there by making the skin dry,c causes intestinal motility and relaxation of sphincters, and dnt have any effect on skeletal muscle. Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter of the parasympathetic nervous system.
Jack is an Alzheimer's patient as his age is a great risk factor for the disease and memory is the early symptom of Alzheimer's disease.this can't be dementia because insight is present. cholinesterase inhibotors can be used to treat the symptoms.
