Question 1

how does the parasympathetic nervous system affect bronchoconstriction?

Accepted Answer

Pulmonary functions: Both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves affect both broncho- dilatation and brochoconstriction, and are secondarily affected by several drugs.  A beta blocker may cause constriction, epinephrine may result in bronchodilatation.

Question 2

what is the role of parasympathetic nervous system?

Accepted Answer

ConstrucT : Anabolism and catabolism both continue emergency arise so sympathetic or flight fight comes in action emergency over reconstruction begins parasympathetic takes over again which is our base line.

Question 3

what organs are affected by the parasympathetic nervous system?

Accepted Answer

SLUDD: Remember SLUDD (salivation, lacrimation, urination, digestion and defecation). The organs involved in these bodily functions.

Question 4

would activation of the sympathetic or parasympathetic nervous system lead to hunger?

Accepted Answer

A PairofSympathetics: The answer could be made VERY complicated but, just to sort-of give an overall picture: if you are jagged-up by the sympathetic system, you won't have much of an appetite unless you're a shark on the make (well, a shark is a Chondrichthyte so technically doesn't have a sympathetic nervous system....whatever...), but if you are calmed down parasympathetically your juices will flow, ready to eat.

Question 5

my heart goes to 100+bpm when i stand.  i discovered the cause, my sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight) is overactive only when i stand. how do i turn on my parasympathetic nervous system again? deep breathing doesn't help much.

Accepted Answer

Tachycardia standing: This is a normal response and it should slow down in a few minutes.  Other reasons would be salt depletion due to sweating or anemia.  Blood pressure will drop on standing also.  Find out the cause and treat that. Discuss with your team.

Question 6

do drugs like zoloft (sertraline) and olanzapine work on the parasympathetic nervous system and that's what calms you down ?

Accepted Answer

No.: The parasympathetic nervous system does not "calm you down." These drugs work at the cortical and subcortical levels. Any affective influences of the autonomic nervous system are secondary to the physiological effects.

Question 7

do the drugs olanzapine, zoloft (sertraline) and elavil work on the parasympathetic nervous system to calm you down ?

Accepted Answer

Elavil (amitriptyline): has mostly anticholinergic side effects (dry mouth, constipation, elevated heart rate) just the opposite of parasympathetic.  The calming effect is due to a much more complex interaction of excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters further up stream (cortex and deep gray matter structures like the thalamus, the hypopithalamus, putamen, globus pallidus, nucleus accumbens, ventral tegmental area.)

Question 8

what happens when the central nervous system is modulated from coadministration of drugs such as caffeine and invega sustenna or medical doctor approved cannabis and invega sustenna ?

Accepted Answer

: There is no interaction between invega sustenna and caffeine but using invega sustenna and cannabis together may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, and difficulty concentrating.

Question 9

how does caffeine affect the circulatory system?

Accepted Answer

Caffeine circulation: Great discussion at wikipedia. Ever heard of it? Give it a try. The effects are very complex and I have studied them. Cannot give adequate detail in 400 characters.

Question 10

does nescafe or caffeine affect for bieng pregnant, and from how many months should i stop caffeine to don't affect for being pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Caffeine can affect pregnancy.  It is particularly important in the first trimester, so you should avoid caffeine preferably before you become pregnant, but certainly once  you do.  Likewise and even more important is to avoid nicotine during this time.
