| Definitions |
The (ortho-) sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is one of the three parts of the autonomic nervous system, along with the enteric and parasympathetic systems. Its general action is to mobilize the body's resources under stress; to induce the fight-or-flight response. It is, however, constantly active at a basal level in order to maintain homeostasis.[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympathetic_nervous_system |
