Description
This lecture covers the autonomic nervous system, focusing on the parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions. It explains the 'rest-and-digest' response of the parasympathetic system, including effects on heart rate, pupil constriction, blood vessels, and gastrointestinal muscles. On the other hand, it delves into the 'fight-or-flight' response of the sympathetic system, involving the amygdala, hypothalamus, autonomic nerves, and adrenal medulla. The lecture also discusses the conversion process of amino acids and the mobilization of glucose from the liver.
