Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Autonomic dysreflexia involves uncontrolled activation of autonomic neurons, leading to symptoms such as hypertension, sweating, and bradycardia. It is a potentially life-threatening condition that can occur in individuals with spinal cord injuries above the T6 level. Autonomic areflexia and spinal shock are separate conditions, and over-excitatory input from the cortex is not a known cause of autonomic dysreflexia.
