Summary Introduction
To review:
The role of the autonomic nervous system in producing the symptoms of shock and the drugs used to treat the condition.
Introduction:
SThe shock is a condition where the body parts do not receive the a proper supply of oxygen-rich blood. The nervous system controls the functioning of the whole body. The nervous sytem has two main systems, namely the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The peripheral system is divided into the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system.

Students have asked these similar questions
A patient’s heart is beating unusually slowly. Which of the following are possible explanations? (More than one may be correct)
Parasympathetic system is overactive
Parasympathetic system is underactive
Sympathetic system is overactive
Sympathetic system is underactive
Draw a schematic diagram of the spinothalamic pathway and annotate it by indicating where and how the different drugs work
Which of the following is True and which of the following is false: 1) Psychoactive drugs rarely provoke a response by the area postrema due to their ability to cross the blood-brain barrier easily.
2) George weighs 200 lbs and Marcy weighs 120 lbs. Both are sadly opioid addicts. If they both inject the same amount of heroin, they will likely have similar experiences because the amount of blood you have is not related to your weight.
3) Drugs that are addictive always produce tolerance and withdrawal.
4) Symptoms of withdrawal are usually the opposite of the effects of the previously used drug.
5) Although their main effects occur in other neurochemical systems, both MDMA (Ecstasy) and cannabis distort the activity of dopamine, suggesting that these drugs have the potential to be addictive.
6) Opioids produce most of their effects by enhancing the release of a variety of neurochemicals from presynaptic axon terminals.
6) Dr. Baskin is studying the heritability of aggressiveness in…
