Chapter 15, Problem 9WWTS
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The autonomic nervous system consists of two divisions namely sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. Both the systems work on synergistic and antagonistic effects on target organs. The sympathetic division controls the involuntary actions of physiology at the time of fight and flight. The parasympathetic division is to control the physiology at rest and digest. The parasympathetic system has less neural divergence, but they are more organs specific in action.

EXPLANATION ADDRESSING THE QUESTION ABOVE Cerebral spinal fluid is a fluid that cushions the central nervous system and provides buoyancy to and helps nourish the brain. It circulates around the surface of the brain, interior ventricles, and surface of the spinal cord and central canal of the spinal cord. CSF is created by the ependymal cells in the choroid plexus and ventricles of the brain. CSF is made up mostly of water and also includes ions, nutrients like vitamin c and protein, and can pick up waste as it circulates. CSF circulation starts in the lateral ventricle where the choroid plexus and lateral ventricle creates or secretes the CSF. The CSF then flows through the ventricular foramen into the third ventricle. At the third ventricle, the CSF then flows through the cerebral aqueduct into the fourth ventricle. Then, the CSF exits the fourth…arrow_forward
- Steven had a stroke resulting in his having difficulty speaking. Ruth suffered a severe nerve injury to her left arm while working, but after a few weeks regained full use of her arm. Why is Steven having difficulty regaining his speaking ability; whereas, Ruth has regained full function in her arm. Base your answer on nervous system regeneration and repair.
