Match as appropriate. This branch stimulates the excretion of bile from the gallbladder, which aids in digestion of fats. Activation of this branch would act to increase blood glucose levels. This branch innervates sweat glands. This branch innervates the heart. This branch increases your heart rate. This branch promotes urination (micturition). This branch innervates skeletal muscle. Activation of this branch would cause pupil dilation (mydriasis) Activation of this branch would cause constriction of the pupils (miosis) This branch innervates the adrenal medulla. 1. Sympathetic Branch of the Autonomic Nervous System 2. Parasympathetic Branch of the Autonomic Nervous System 3. Either the Sympathetic Branch or the Parasympathetic Branch of the Autonomic Nervous System 4. Neither the Sympathetic Branch nor the Parasympathetic branch of the Autonomic Nervous System

Match each arm of the autonomic nervous system with its functions: A. Sympathetic Nervous System B. Parasympathetic Nervous System - Restores and conserves energy - Increases heart rate - Increases motility of the gastrointestinal tract - Increases bile production - Increases cardiac output - Dilates lung bronchioles - Promotes ejaculation - Is dominant during rest - Promotes erection - Increases basal metabolism

Matching Exercise Match the digestive structure to its proper function. 1) ___ Esophagus 2) ___ Stomach 3) ___ Small Intestine 4) ___ Large Intestine 5) ___ Gall Bladder 6) ___ Liver 7) ___ Pancreas 8) ___ Common Bile Duct 9) ___ Ileocecal junction 10) ___ Rectum 11) ___ Oral cavity 12) ___ Parotid gland 13) ___ Oropharynx 14) ___ Tongue 15) ___ Duodenum [A] Stores bile produced by the liver [B] Connects the oral cavity to the pharynx [C] Function is to conduct swallowed food from the pharynx above to the stomach below [D] Distal portion of the large intestine [E] Largest of the salivary glands, located superficial to the masseter muscle [F] Proximal portion of the small intestine [G] Muscle used to manipulate food in the oral cavity [H] Function is to ingest food. The mouth begins the process of digestion by secreting saliva and mechanically grinding food [I] Function is absorption of nutrients, as nearly all nutrients are absorbed using villi in this organ [J] Connection between the ileum of the small intestine and the ascending colon of the large intestine [K] Functions include the storage, some digestion, and release of food into the duodenum. [L] Endocrine function is glucose homeostasis; in digestion secretes trypsin, amylase, lipase & bicarbonate [M] Tube that is created as the hepatic and cystic ducts combine and transport bile to the duodenum [N] Function is to absorb water, produce flatus, and compact fecal material; storing the feces until it can be released [O] Largest gland of the body that performs a variety of metabolic functions including plasma protein synthesis
Adi S.
The parasympathetic division of the nervous system (Check all that apply) is involved with transmitting odor signals to the CNS. It activates skeletal muscle and promotes digestion. Additionally, it promotes blood flow to skeletal muscles during active periods and slows the heart rate. This division is mediated by norepinephrine.
