58
Q

What physiologic changes occur during fight or flight?

A

Accelerates heart rate
Constricts blood vessels to smooth muscle (vasoconstriction)
Dilates blood vessels to skeletal muscle (vasodilation)
Decreases GI movement (decrease peristalsis)
Dilation of pupil (mydriasis)
Effects on glands: Increases epinephrine, sweat secretion and decreases digestive secretion

59
Q

What physiologic changes occur during rest or digest?

A

Slows heartbeat
NO effect on blood vessels to smooth muscle
NO effect on blood vessels to skeletal muscle
Increases peristalsis (digestion)
Contraction of pupil (miosis)
Effects on glands: No effect on adrenal medulla or sweat glands, but increases secretion of digestive enzymes
