Which of the following is not an effect of the sympathetic nervous system?
Dilation of pupil
Inhibition of peristalsis
Elevation of blood pressure
Stimulation of saliva secretion
As we have learnt:
Comparison Between Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Neural System -
Structure | Sympathetic | Parasympathetic |
Eye (Pupil) | Dilation | Constriction |
Nasal mucosa | mucus reduction | Mucus increased |
Salivary glands | Saliva reduction | Saliva increased |
Heart | Rate reduced | Rate increased |
Arteries | Constriction | Dilation |
Lung | Bronchial muscle relaxation | Bronchial muscle contraction |
Gastrointestinal tract | Decreased motility | Increased motility |
Liver | Conversion of glycogen to glucose increased | Glycogen synthesis |
Kidney | Decreased urine | Increased urine |
Bladder | Contraction of sphincter | Relaxation of sphincter |
Sweat glands | Sweat | No change |
Stimulation of saliva secretion is an effect of parasympathetic nervous system
