Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Autonomic dysreflexia involves uncontrolled activation of the autonomic nervous system, typically in individuals with spinal cord injuries at or above the T6 level. It can result in a sudden increase in blood pressure, sweating, flushing, and other symptoms. It is not related to spinal shock and does not involve over-excitatory input from the cortex. It is also not known as autonomic areflexia.
