Explain Dual Inner Action Of The Autonomic Nervous System Flashcards
What is dual innervation?
Dual innervation of the autonomic nervous system helps balance the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions.
How does dual innervation work?
Via dual innervations the divisions of the sympathetic and parasympathetic counter balance each other. Keeping the systems of the body functioning normally.
How do the divisions work?
The divisions generally cause opposite effects on the same visceral organs.
How do cooperative dual innervations work?
Cooperative dual innervations involve the fibres of both systems working together to produce a response.
Is dual innervations either antagonistic or complementary?
It is both.
Reminder: What is the autonomic nervous system?
