What are the physiologic responses to stimulation of the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems?
| Sympathetic Stimulation | Parasympathetic Stimulation |
|---|---|
| Tachycardia | Bradycardia |
| Increased heart contractility | Decreased heart contractility |
| Bronchodilation | Bronchoconstriction |
| Decreased peristalsis | Increased peristalsis |
| Mydriasis | Miosis |
| Ciliary muscle relaxation (far vision) | Ciliary muscle contraction (near vision) |
| Bladder internal sphincter contraction | Bladder internal sphincter relaxation |
| Detrusor relaxation | Detrusor contraction |
| Ejaculation | Penile erection |
| Decreased kidney output | Increased exocrine gland secretion (salivary, lacrimal) |
| Vasoconstriction | Vasodilation |
| Piloerection | |
| Increased sweating | |
| Glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis | |
| Lipolysis |
