What are the Splanchnic nerves (T5-L2 nerve roots)?
Direct connection between arterioles and venules that is necessary due to body movement
What is an arteriovenous anastomosis?
Its capsule surrounds a core of collagen fibers that are continuous with the dermis assures it detects stretching

Contains A agglutinogen on the RBC and B agglutinin in the plasma
What is type A blood?
Produce thin secretions controlled by the nervous system and are crucial in thermoregulation
What are Eccrine sweat glands?
This tissue makes up nerve and muscle sheaths
Tends to innervate the SA node
What is the right vagus nerve?
Innervates the external urethral sphincter
What is the Pudendal nerve?
Begins at the cisterna chyli, collects lymph from the left and right lumbar trunks
