[5] Sometimes there is flushing on the affected side of the face due to dilation of blood vessels under the skin. The pupil's light reflex is maintained as this is controlled via the parasympathetic nervous system. [citation needed]

  3. Sympathetic nervous system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympathetic_nervous_system

    The sympathetic nervous system's primary process is to stimulate the body's fight or flight response. It is, however, constantly active at a basic level to maintain homeostasis. [4] The sympathetic nervous system is described as being antagonistic to the parasympathetic nervous system.

  4. Autonomic dysreflexia - Wikipedia

    The autonomic nervous system is comprised of the sympathetic, parasympathetic, and enteric nervous systems. [21] The mechanism of autonomic dysreflexia has to do with the relationship of the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems.

  7. Stress (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_(biology)

    The sympathetic nervous system innervates various immunological structures, such as bone marrow and the spleen, allowing for it to regulate immune function. The adrenergic substances released by the sympathetic nervous system can also bind to and influence various immunological cells, further providing a connection between the systems.

  8. Nervous system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nervous_system

    The visceral part, also known as the autonomic nervous system, contains neurons that innervate the internal organs, blood vessels, and glands. The autonomic nervous system itself consists of two parts: the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system. Some authors also include sensory neurons whose cell bodies lie in the ...

  9. Sympathetic trunk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympathetic_trunk

    The sympathetic trunk is a fundamental part of the sympathetic nervous system, and part of the autonomic nervous system. It allows nerve fibres to travel to spinal nerves that are superior and inferior to the one in which they originated. Also, a number of nerves, such as most of the splanchnic nerves, arise directly from the trunks.
