Compare and contrast the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system from the perspective of their functions (two examples) and anatomical basis.

-include their anatomical origins in the CNS, the placement of ganglia, their neuronal composition including neurotransmitters and receptors used.

-mass activation and its purpose and anatomical implications

Expert Solution

SYMPTHETIC	PARASYMPATHIC
Eg. Increases heart rate, causes bronchodilation	Eg. Decreases heart rate, causes bronchoconstriction
Uses adrenergic receptors	Uses Nicotinic receptors
Mass activation is for fight or flight response	mass activation is for rest and digest response.
