this stimulation is something that could damage tissues or cause pain. It also typically happens below the level of the injury. In response to this stimulus, your nervous system triggers a reflex that narrows all your blood vessels above the injury, which raises...
Explore the function and divisions of the autonomic nervous system. Discover sympathetic, parasympathetic, and enteric nervous systems, and review...
autonomic nervous systemcerebral blood flowsymptomsThe autonomic nervous system (ANS) plays a vital role in maintaining and regulating homeostatic processes. ANS dysfunction has been reported in patients with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), but its role in mild TBI (mTBI) is ...
Horner syndrome- symptoms include decreased sweating, drooping eyelid and pupil constriction affecting one side of the face. It is caused by damage to the sympathetic nerves that supply the eyes and face. Hirschsprung's disease- also referred to as congenital megacolon, this disorder features dilati...
[46]This damage may have a central cause such as infarction of the lateral medulla, or peripheral such as from damage secondary to thoracic surgery or from partial/total resection of the thyroid gland.[46][47]More centralized lesions tend to correlate with a constellation of symptoms that ...
light chain levels, a biomarker of axonal damage, have been reported to be increased in COVID-19 patients [116]. Although patients with increased serum neurofilament light chain levels have been reported to be more likely to require intubation, the levels seem unrelated to neurologic symptoms. ...
in endometriosis-associated inflammation but also promotes peripheral and central nervous systemic pain. BDNF plays a role in the relationship between inflammatory pain and neuropathic pain via some signaling pathway. During the inflammatory state, nerves carry damage signals to the brain, then the ...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic progressive demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS), which also affects the autonomic nervous system

This combination results in a control system that is more responsive, and much more accurate, than a simple single process feedback system might be. We will illustrate one other vital function of the ANS, the regulation of arterial blood pressure. Overly high blood pressure will damage the ...
