The sweat glands, adrenal glands, and muscles that constrict blood vessels have input from only the ____ nervous system.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for the activation of the responses mentioned in the question, including the production of sweat, release of hormones from the adrenal glands, and constriction of blood vessels. The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for the "rest and digest" response and does not have a significant role in these processes. The central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord and is responsible for processing and integrating sensory information, but does not directly control these physiological responses. The dorsal root is a part of the spinal cord and transmits sensory information, but does not have a direct role in controlling these responses.
