Selected Autonomic Nervous System Responses

	Sympathetic	Parasympathetic
Cardiac	Increased SA rate (Beta1) Increased Force of Contraction Increased AV conduction (Beta2)	Slowed rate Decreased FOC Decreased AV conduction
Arteries	Dilated (Beta2)	Dilated
Lungs	Dilated Bronchioles (Beta2) Mildly constricted blood vessels	Constricted Bronchioles ?? Dilated blood vessels
Eyes	Pupil Dilation	Pupil Constriction
GI track	Decreased secretios Decreased motility	Increased secretions Increased motility

Adrenergic Receptor Activation

Vasoconstriction	Cardioacceleration	Vasodilation
Intestinal relaxation	Increase myocardial	Intestinal relaxation
Pupil dilation	strength	Uterine relaxation
Bladder sphincter contraction		Bladder wall relaxation
