Ayodelle Ettienne AC1702537 HO4 Anatomy and Physiology I 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.
