Question

Wired Faculty App

How does the autonomic nervous system help us in dealing with an emergency situation?

Solution

The autonomic nervous system governs activities which are normally not under direct control of individuals. The autonomic nervous system has two divisions - sympathetic division and parasympathetic division. The sympathetic division deals with emergencies when the action must be quick and powerful, such as in situations of fight or flight. During this period, the digestion stops, blood flows from internal organs to the muscles, and breathing rate, oxygen supply, heart rate.
