	Parasympathetic nervous system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The parasympathetic nervous system is one of three divisions of the autonomic nervous system.
		Sometimes called the rest and digest system, the parasympathetic system conserves energy as it slows the heart rate, increases intestinal and gland activity, and relaxes sphincter muscles in the gastrointestinal tract.
		While an oversimplification, it is said that the parasympathetic system acts in a reciprocal manner to the effects of the sympathetic nervous system; in fact, in some tissues innervated by both systems, the effects are synergistic.

	The Parasympathetic Nervous System
		The gradual maturation of the parasympathetic system is associated with the capacity to inhibit sympathetic activity, and results in a reduction in mobilization and baseline levels of arousal.
		Parasympathetic activity is associated with inhibition of the intrinsic pacemaker of the heart, and results in a lower resting heart rate.
		The faint response is a condition of parasympathetic arousal elicited in the face of emotional stress or shock, which results in lowered heart rate and blood pressure.

	Autonomic nervous system : Parasympathetic nervous system
		These tasks are under the control of the parasympathetic nervous system, which lowers the heart rate and the blood pressure, diverts a great amount of blood back to the skin and the gastrointestinal tract, contracts the pupils of the eyes as well as the bronchioles, stimulates secretion in the salivary glands and accelerates peristalsis.
		As regards the sympathetic nervous system they lie in the thoracal and lumbal segments of the spinal cord, the preganglionic parasympathetic cell bodies are situated in the brain stem (cranial parasympathetic) and in the sacral spinal cord (sacral parasympathetic).
		The axons of the sympathetic and sacral parasympathetic fibres leave the spinal cord through its ventral root, enter the spinal nerve and then the white communicating branch, from where they run to their further destination.

		Parasympathetic innervation contracts the ciliary muscle ring, reducing tension on the lens; the lens then rounds up for near focus.

	Parasympathetic
		The autonomic nervous system (ANS), is divided anatomically into three components: the parasympathetic, with cranial and sacral connections; the sympathetic, with central nervous connections in the thoracic and lumbar segments of the spinal cord; and the enteric nervous system which occupies the digestive tract.
		The parasympathetic and sympathetic components of the ANS control the involuntary body functions via the distribution of nerve fibers to the various organs and glands, whereas the enteric nervous system is involved primarily with the internal regulation of the gustatory processes.
		This would be consistent with a failure to reduce sympathetic and to increase parasympathetic activity during the night, and with the failure to lower blood pressure.

		Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of death in the USA and dysfunction of the neural regulation of the heart is an important factor in the etiology of cardiac disease.
		The emphasis of current research activities is the elucidation of mechanisms that regulate the excitability of parasympathetic and sympathetic neurons innervating cardiac tissues.
		The role of intracellular calcium in regulating excitability of autonomic neurons uses parasympathetic cardiac neurons from the mudpuppy, an aquatic amphibian, and guinea pig sympathetic neurons.

		In order to respond to parasympathetic stimulation, it is necessary for potassium to accumulate inside the cells of those tissues being stimulated.
		In other words, a calcium deficiency results in symptoms of parasympathetic dominance because the cells lack adequate calcium to respond to sympathetic stimulation.
		The symptoms of parasympathetic dominance are many, and I refer you to the many good textbooks in your library for details.

	Stress (medicine) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Our modern lifestyle tends to cause continual sympathetic nervous system activation with very little opportunity for the parasympathetic (also called 'vegetative') nervous system to activate.
		When this sympathetic system is active, the bowel and other non-muscle organs receive good blood-flow, the pupils constrict, the glands all function well and secrete their various compounds.
		Absence of the autonomic parasympathetic activation leads to poor digestion and probably also to poor healing and organ function.

		The sympathetic multiplier, m, was similar (1.18 +/- 0.06 vs. 1.20 +/- 0.05, P greater than 0.4) in the two groups, but n, the parasympathetic multiplier, was closer to 1 in the athletes (0.57 +/- 0.03 vs. 0.51 +/- 0.05, P less than 0.01).
		We conclude that the model is suitable for the quantitative study of sympathetic/parasympathetic heart rate control in humans, and that the lower resting heart rate in oarsmen is solely due to a reduction in intrinsic cardiac rate, and not to an increase in parasympathetic tone.
		The role of endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF) in parasympathetic coronary vasodilation following carotid chemoreflex activation induced by nicotine in conscious dogs and stimulation of the vagus nerve in anesthetized dogs was studied.

		Damage to the parasympathetic nervous system may account for nearly half of the typical symptoms-including gallbladder disease, unrefreshing sleep, depression, joint pain, chronic diarrhea, and sexual dysfunction-that afflict those with Gulf War syndrome, according to a study by the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas.
		The parasympathetic system regulates primitive, automatic bodily functions such as digestion and sleep, while the sympathetic nervous system controls the "fight or flight" instinct.
		After plotting the subtle alterations in heart function using a mathematical technique called spectral analysis, researchers found that parasympathetic brain function, which usually peaks during sleep, barely changed in veterans with Gulf War syndrome even though they appeared to be sleeping.
