• Understand the importance of neurotransmitters.
• Discuss the differences between Alzheimer’s and old age.
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

Assignment 7
December 2, 2017
Part A:
Imagine you are being chased through the woods by a hungry bear.
Which nervous system would engage (parasympathetic or sympathetic)?
Why is this?
The Sympathetic nervous system would be engaged. This is because sympathetic nervous
system is also known as the fight to fight response system. Its normal function is to produce
reflex adjustment and localized adjustment of the cardiovascular system.
What would be the effects of this system on your: Eyes, Skin, Respiratory System and Skeletal
System?
The sympathetic system dilates the pupil of the eyes.; focusing for distance vision.
While the skin increases secretion, stimulation causes vasoconstriction of most blood vessels,
including many of those in the skin. The respiratory system increases your breathing,
Respiratory System, The Trachea, Bronchi and Alveoli. ... Stimulation from the sympathetic
division of the autonomic nervous system causes these smooth muscles to relax, dilating the
bronchial branches allowing more air to pass through the lungs. This is what the sympathetic
nervous system effects on the respiratory system
The skeletal system increases force of contraction and glycogen breakdown.
Adrenaline production for emergency action, cardiac output, increase of muscle tone by
sensitizing muscle spindles in the relevant skeletal muscles.
