Information sent along ______ nerves causes vasodilation of arteries leading to the surface of the body. O Afferent O Efferent O Fast O Large
Added by Pedro S.
Close
Step 1
Vasodilation is controlled by the autonomic nervous system, specifically the sympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system uses efferent nerves to send signals from the central nervous system to the periphery. Show more…

Which type of nerves carried the information from your brain to your muscles so that you could avoid getting burned? Sympathetic nerves Afferent nerves Parasympathetic nerves Efferent nerves Which division of the peripheral nervous system is responsible for producing physiological symptoms (such as increased heart rate and butterflies in the stomach) under conditions of stress? Sympathetic Parasympathetic Somatic Efferent

Which sympathetic pathway involves only a preganglionic axon going to the effector organ? A. Splanchnic nerve pathway B. Adrenal medulla pathway C. Postganglionic sympathetic nerve pathway D. Spinal nerve pathway E. None of these answers involve only a sympathetic preganglionic axon 5. The arrector pili muscles receive their sympathetic innervation via the: A. Splanchnic nerve pathway. B. Adrenal medulla pathway. C. Postganglionic sympathetic nerve pathway. D. Spinal nerve pathway. E. Both C and D are correct. Trace the path(s) leading to the effector for #5 starting in the CNS (brain or spinal cord). Include the name for the receptors on the receptive segment of the postganglionic neuron and on the effector.
