What is the role of nerves tissue in the small intestine?

You have local nerve plexus in case of small intestine. The small intestine is also supplied by nerves from parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system. The parasympathetic supply augments the peristalsis, secretion of enzymes. Sympathetic nerves inhibit the same. Together they work better.

How does the cardioscular system and the nerves system work together?

The autonomic nervous system regulates the cardiovascular system. The parasympathetic division innervates the heart via the vagus nerve. The sympathetic division also innervates the heart, but additionally, it supplies innervation to the smooth muscle lining blood vessels. The sympathetic division has a substantial effect on blood pressure, and on local blood flow, via constriction of arterioles.The cardiovascular system is important to maintain supply of oxygen and nutrients, and removal of wastes, from the nervous system.


In what way do the parasympathetic and the sympatheticnervous systems work together?

Yes. The vagus nerve is a parasympathetic nerve that is almost always stimulating the healthy heart to have a heart rate less than the inherent rate of the SA node. The sympathetic innervation on the heart is minimal and only important during exercise.

What is a parasympathetic system?

The Parasympathetic Nervous System is a branch of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), like the Sympathetic Nervous Sysyem. The ANS is concerned with controlling all the functions of you body that you do no want to have t obe thinking about constantly, like keeping your hear beeting or your stomach churning. The two braches parasympathetic and sympathetic are usually in contrast. The sympathetic nervous system is activated when the body percieves itself to be in danger. This activates the Fight Or Flight response, ie it increases the heart rate, increases the breathing rate, dilates the pupils etc to prepare the to be ready to either face the danger or get away from it. At the same time is diverts blood from areas that are not required at in an emergency, such as the gastric tract, to other areas that are requires, such asthe skeletal muscle. The parasympathetis brach does the opposite. When there is no danger percieved the body can concentrate on its desire to Rest And Digest. Thy parasympathetic branch brings heart rate back down to a resting level and rediverts the bloob back to the grastrointestinal tract from the skeletal muscle. This branch is activated shortly after a meal as well, that is why you should not go swimming after a meal, or both the branches will be activated anc the body will be fighting against itself. Although sometime the two systems do work together, for example in the male during sex. The sympathetic system stimulates erection whilst the parasympathetic stimulates ejaculation.


What is the definition of sumpathetic?

Do you mean "sympathetic"? It comes from two roots, "pathos" which means to feel, and "syn" which means "together with". If you are sympathetic with someone or something, you feel together with them, or you feel what they are feeling. "I am sympathetic to the cause of the oppressed Wal-mart employees--I feel their pain."

What is Sympathomedullary pathway?

neurons fromthe symathetic system (SNS) go to to almost every organ and gland within the body. The parasympathetic system (SAM) at the same time as the sympathetic system (SNS) is activated. The SAM system alerts the animal (whatever it it is) through the release of adrenaline into the bloodstream and together these two systems make up the SYMPATHOMEDULLARY PATHWAY.
