Explain what happens to the body during a Sympathetic Response (Fight or Flight) and a Parasympathetic Response (Feed and Breed).
Sympathetic: Pupils dilate, Bronchioles dilate, Heart rate increases, Blood vessels constrict, Hormones are released, Gastric Secretions decrease.
Parasympathetic: Pupils constrict, Bronchioles constrict, Heart rate decreases, Blood vessels dilate, Gastric Secretions increase.
Name and describe the three types of Muscle?
Skeletal Muscle - Voluntary, under control of the brain.
Smooth Muscle - Involuntary, automatic muscular functions of the body.
Cardiac Muscles - Involuntary, suited specifically for the Heart with the property of automaticity.
