The sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions have antagonistic effects on target organs.

Slide 27

The sympathetic division correlates with the “fight-or-flight” response.

The sympathetic division correlates with the “fight-or-flight” response.

The parasympathetic division promotes a return to “rest and digest.”

The enteric division controls activity of the digestive tract, pancreas, and gallbladder.

The vertebrate brain is regionally specialized

The vertebrate brain is regionally specialized

All vertebrate brains develop from three embryonic regions: forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain.

By the fifth week of human embryonic development, five brain regions have formed from the three embryonic regions.
