Summary Introduction
To review:
Match the term crisis with the most closely related description given below:
All preganglionic fibers
Preganglionic fibers to collateral ganglia
First neuron
Collateral ganglia
Adrenal medulla
Sympathetic activation
Sympathetic division
Terminal ganglia
Sympathetic chain ganglia
Long postganglionic fiber
Introduction:
The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is responsible for generating the fight-or-flight response. The motor fibers of the sympathetic division innervate the specific effectors like smooth muscle fibers in the skin’s blood vessels.
