Which of the following best describes the function of the sympathetic nervous system?

It prepares the body for 'fight or flight' responses. (correct)

It controls involuntary actions like digestion and heart rate.

It regulates the release of hormones from endocrine glands.

It is responsible for voluntary movement and sensory input.

What is the role of the sodium-potassium pump in nerve impulse transmission?

Central Nervous System (CNS): Brain (and four lobes), functions.
Peripheral Nervous System (PNS): Function, somatic and autonomic nervous systems (sympathetic and parasympathetic).
Eye: Parts, functions, and pathway of light; rods and cones; visual disorders.

Endocrine System Review

Hormones: Steroid and protein hormones, examples.
Endocrine Glands: Locations.
Hormone Action: Source, target organ, effects of: thyroxine, insulin, glucagon, melatonin, luteinizing hormone (in males and females), follicle-stimulating hormone (in males and females), estrogen (in females), testosterone (in males).
Insulin and Glucagon: Role in blood glucose levels.
