To identify:
The two major divisions of ANS
Introduction:
Nervous system is the main controller of all the systems present in the body. It regulates and controls the functioning of all the body systems. It has two parts Central Nervous System (CNS) and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS). The PNS is further divided into two sub-parts, the ANS or the autonomic nervous system and the SNS or the somatic nervous system.
Explanation of Solution
ANS controls the autonomic functions like the heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, pupillary response, urination, and sexual arousal. It also helps in maintaining the internal homeostasis of temperature, salt concentration, blood sugar, oxygen and the carbon dioxide concentration in the blood.
It has two sub-parts the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system.
- Sympathetic nervous system performs functions like dilation of pupil, increment in the rate of heart beat etc. It is mostly secreted during the daytime when bodies needs energy and have to perform actions.
- Parasympathetic nervous system works antagonistically to the sympathetic nervous system, it calms down the body by decreasing the blood flow and blood pressure, contraction of the pupil, decreasing the heart beat etc. It helps to release stress of the body. It is secreted during the night when body has to relax and calm down

- We will be starting a group project next week where you and your group will research and ultimately present on a current research article related to the biology of a pathogen that infects humans. The article could be about the pathogen itself, the disease process related to the pathogen, the immune response to the pathogen, vaccines or treatments that affect the pathogen, or other biology-related study about the pathogen. I recommend that you choose a pathogen that is currently interesting to researchers, so that you will be able to find plenty of articles about it. Avoid choosing a historical disease that no longer circulates. List 3 possible pathogens or diseases that you might want to do for your group project.arrow_forwardnot use ai pleasearrow_forwardDNK dagi nukleotidlar va undan sintezlangan oqsildagi peptid boglar farqi 901 taga teng bo'lib undagi A jami H boglardan 6,5 marta kam bo'lsa DNK dagi jami H bog‘lar sonini topingarrow_forward
- One of the ways for a cell to generate ATP is through the oxidative phosphorylation. In oxidative phosphorylation 3 ATP are produced from every one NADH molecule. In respiration, every glucose molecule produces 10 NADH molecules. If a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?arrow_forwardIf a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?arrow_forwardHow do i know which way the arrows go?arrow_forward
