Sympathetic division stimulation causes ________.
A) decreased blood glucose, increased GI peristalsis, and increased heart rate and blood pressure
B) increased blood glucose, increased GI peristalsis, and decreased heart rate and blood pressure
C) increased blood glucose, decreased GI peristalsis, and increased heart rate and blood pressure
D) decreased blood glucose, increased GI peristalsis, and decreased heart rate and blood pressure

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sympathetic division stimulation activates the release of epinephrine and norepinephrine, which increase heart rate and blood pressure, and also stimulate the liver to release glucose into the bloodstream, causing an increase in blood glucose levels. However, sympathetic stimulation inhibits GI peristalsis, which would result in decreased GI activity. Therefore, option C, which includes increased blood glucose, decreased GI peristalsis, and increased heart rate and blood pressure, is the correct choice.
