	Sympathetic nervous system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Therefore, this response that acts primarily on the cardiovascular system is mediated directly via impulses transmitted through the sympathetic nervous system and indirectly via catecholamines secreted from the adrenal medulla.
		The sympathetic nerves emerge near the spinal cord, inside the vertebral column, travelling along the path of the nerve roots.
		The first synapse (in the sympathetic chain) is mediated by nicotinic receptors physiologically activated by acetylcholine, and the target synapse is mediated by adrenergic receptors physiologically activated by either norepinephrine or epinephrine.

	Nervous system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The autonomic nervous system is the involuntary part of the nervous system where all of the internal maintenance is taken care of.
		The sympathetic nervous system responds to impending danger or stress, and is responsible for the increase of one's heartbeat and blood pressure, among other physiological changes, along with the sense of excitement one feels due to the increase of adrenaline in the system.
		The parasympathetic nervous system, on the other hand, is evident when a person is resting and feels relaxed, and is responsible for such things as the constriction of the pupil, the slowing of the heart, the dilation of the blood vessels, and the stimulation of the digestive and genitourinary systems.

		Activation of the sympathetic nervous system may also contribute to blood pressure levels in the long term by other mechanisms, by its effects on the kidney, on the renin-angiotensin system, on blood vessel growth and permeability, and via resetting of the arterial baroreflex.
		Traditionally, activity of the sympathetic nervous system was assessed using measurements of urine noradrenaline and adrenaline or their precursors and metabolites.
		Secondly, plasma levels of noradrenaline are influenced, in addition to the level of sympathetic neural outflow, by prejunctional modulation of neurotransmitter release, and the clearance, metabolism, and uptake of noradrenaline from the circulation.

	The Autonomic Nervous System
		The autonomic nervous system is a part of the peripheral nervous system that functions to regulate the basic visceral (organ) processes needed for the maintenance of normal bodily functions.
		Sympathetic preganglionic neurons originate in the lateral horns of the 12 thoracic and the first 2 or 3 lumbar segments of the spinal cord.
		The thoracic sympathetic ganglia innervate the trunk region, and the lumbar and sacral sympathetic ganglia innervate the pelvic floor and lower limb.

	The Peripheral Nervous System
		The preganglionic motor neurons of the sympathetic system arise in the spinal cord.
		The main nerves of the parasympathetic system are the tenth cranial nerves, the vagus nerves.
		The acetylcholine from the motor neurons suppresses the release of inflammatory cytokines, e.g., tumor necrosis factor (TNF), from macrophages in the inflamed tissue.

	Early American Manual Therapy
		The sympathetic system of nerves was discovered by Claudius Galen, who was born 131 and died in 201 to 210 A. He lived first at Pergamos, and finally at Rome.
		In general medical literature he has the credit of discovering the sympathetic nerve, and as Galen was a practical anatomist (learning his anatomy, however, almost exclusively from animals) he perhaps gave a quite accurate account of the sympathetic, and this became quoted, until he was finally announced to be its father and discoverer.
		The ganglionic system of nerves, with the abdominal brain as their central organ, performs the vital functions, which are independent of mind and present to us the idea of life.

	The Sympathetic Nervous System in Heart Failure
		The contribution of the sympathetic nervous system was assessed by administering the adrenergic-blocking agent propranolol before the exercise.
		Blockade of the parasympathetic nervous system alone with use of atropine did not interfere with the circulatory response to exercise, whereas when only the sympathetic system was blocked with guanethidine, cardiac output, mean arterial pressure, and left ventricular work during exercise were significantly lower than during the predrug exercise period.
		Thus in the major contribution made by the autonomic nervous system in response to exercise it is the sympathetic division that clearly plays the critical role.

		The profound effects of sympathetic nervous system function on human physiology were emphasized at the most recent interprofessional symposium of the American Chiropractic College of Thermology (ACCT).
		The sympathetic nervous system, controlling vascular tonus, skin temperature, sweating and piloerection, has lent itself only to more obscure laboratory testing procedures such as electrical skin resistance and time-intensive thermometric testing of multiple discrete regions of skin temperature.
		In a stunning implication for clinical patient management, the effect of photonic stimulation on sympathetic nervous system function was evaluated contemporaneously via high resolution infrared imaging as the treatment was actually being rendered.

	The Autonomic Nervous System (page 2)
		The adrenal medulla is innervated by preganglionic fibres and therefore adrenaline is released from the gland by stimulation of nicotinic Ach receptors.
		In contrast to the parasympathetic system, the sympathetic system enables the body to be prepared for fear, flight or fight.
		Sympathetic responses include an increase in heart rate, blood pressure and cardiac output, a diversion of blood flow from the skin and splanchnic vessels to those supplying skeletal muscle, increased pupil size, bronchiolar dilation, contraction of sphincters and metabolic changes such as the mobilisation of fat and glycogen.

		The context in which threat occurs, the perception of the degree of danger, and the ability to successfully escape from a situation all affect the degree of SNS response.
		Activation of the global response and cortisol secretion are costly, both on an energetic level due to the degree to which glucose and metabolites must be mobilized, and on a behavioral level due to the effects of epinephrine and norepinephrine, which increase irritability and emotional reactivity, and require time reabsorption (Ganong, 2001).

	The ANS
		The sympathetic nerves reach their end-organs through more devious pathways down the spinal cord to clusters of sympathetic nerve bodies (ganglia) alongside the spine where the messages are relayed to other nerve bodies (or neurons) that travel to a large extent with the blood vessels to all parts of the body.
		Through these nervous pathways, the autonomic nerves convey stimuli resulting in largely unconscious, reflex, bodily adjustments such as in the size of the pupil, the digestive functions of the stomach and intestines, the rate and depth of respiration and dilatation or constriction of the blood vessels.
		Like other nerves, those of the autonomic nervous system convey their messages to the appropriate end organs (blood vessels, viscera, etc.) by releasing transmitter substances to which the receptors of the target cells are responsive.

		The portion of the autonomic nervous system that receives its fibers of connection with the central nervous system through the thoracolumbar outflow of visceral efferent fibers.
		These fibers (preganglionic) arise from cells in the thoracic and upper lumbar levels of the spinal cord, leave by way of ventral roots, and, by way of rami communicantes, enter sympathetic trunks, where some synapse with ganglion cells.
		Some preganglionic fibers pass through the sympathetic trunks and synapse in the prevertebral ganglia; postglanglionic fibers from those ganglia supply adjacent viscera.

	SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM AND PAIN: A CLINICAL REAPPRAISAL
		At the same time, this sympathetic- sensory coupling was believed to be part of a vicious circle, where the abnormal afferent activity - via sensitized central nervous (spinal cord) structures - could maintain sympathetic hyperactivity and consequently pain (Livingston 1976).
		The patients of the first group are characterized by the occurrence of a rather complex clinical symptomatology, in whom predominantly the distal part of the extremity is affected, where the symptoms - independently of the kind and location of a preceding lesion - appear in a glove- or sock-like distribution manner.
		Consistent signs of sympathetic hyperactivity are not found in SMP and autonomic changes, which may be present inside the lesioned area (Frost et al 1988), can be related to denervation and reinnervation of sympathetic effector organs.
