The autonomic nervous system, or ANS, is the part of the nervous system that regulates activities of internal organs. The ANS is largely AUTONOMOUS, acting independently of the body’s consciousness and voluntary control. It has two main divisions: sympathetic, SNS, and parasympathetic, PSNS.
In situations that require alertness and energy, such as facing danger or doing physical activities, the ANS activates its sympathetic division to mobilize the body for action. This division INcreases cardiac output, accelerates respiratory rate, releases stored energy, and dilates pupils. At the same time, it also inhibits body processes that are less important in emergencies, such as digestion and urination.
On the other hand, during ordinary situations, the parasympathetic division conserves and restores. It slows heartbeats, decreases respiratory rate, stimulates digestion, removes waste and stores energy.
The sympathetic division is therefore known as the “fight or flight” response, while the parasympathetic division is associated with the “rest and digest” state.
Despite having opposite effects on the same organ, the SNS and PSNS are NOT mutually exclusive. In most organs, both systems are simultaneously active, producing a background rate of activity called the “autonomic tone” - a balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic inputs. This balance SHIFTS, one way or the other, in response to the body’s changing needs.
Some organs, however, receive inputs from ONLY ONE system. For example, the smooth muscles of blood vessels only receive sympathetic fibers, which keep them partially constricted and thus maintaining normal blood pressure. An increase in sympathetic firing rate causes further constriction and INcreases blood pressure, while a DEcrease in firing rate dilates blood vessels, lowering blood pressure.
The autonomic nerve pathways, from the control centers in the central nervous system to the target organs, are composed of 2 neurons, which meet and synapse in an autonomic ganglion. Accordingly, these neurons are called PREganglionic and POSTganglionic.
In the SNS, the preganglionic neurons arise from the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spinal cord; their fibers exit by way of spinal nerves to the nearby sympathetic chain of ganglia. Once in the chain, preganglionic fibers may follow any of 3 routes: some fibers synapse immediately with postganglionic neurons; some travel up or down the chain before synapsing; some pass through the chain without synapsing - this third group continues as splanchnic nerves to nearby collateral ganglia for synapsing instead. From the ganglia, LONG POSTganglionic fibers run all the way to target organs. The SNS has a high degree of neuronal DIVERGENCE: one preganglionic fiber can synapse with up to 20 postganglionic neurons. Thus, effects of the SNS tend to be WIDESPREAD.
In the PSNS, the preganglionic neurons arise from the brainstem and sacral region of the spinal cord. Preganglionic fibers exit the brainstem via several cranial nerves and exit the spinal cord via spinal nerves before forming the pelvic splanchnic nerves. Parasympathetic ganglia are located near or within target organs, so postganglionic fibers are relatively short. The degree of neuronal divergence in the PSNS is much lower than that of the SNS. Thus, the PSNS produces more SPECIFIC, LOCALIZED responses compared to the SNS.

I had an Exam in Physiology and your video helped me to respond all the 8 questions related to this beautiful animation correctly. Thank you so much!!!!
Excellent! Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
@Nouman Sagar tomorrow is mine
In two weeks mine..
Lol
❤❤
Truly, probably the BEST, Direct, Visual, Description I've been able to find. This is Great for 'us', Yoga Teachers, for Breath Awareness.
Lol just what?
i agree!
It is good teaching but difficult point to understand😶
❤❤❤❤❤ 💯
I was just thinking this, incredible
This is literally the best explanation anyone can ever give...Crystal clear concept wow...TYSM❤️
YAY! I am getting deeper in to learning the physiological and psychological cause and effect of my deep depression through the myriad of medical knowledge instantly available at the press of a button. THANK YOU Alila Medical Media for boosting me on my merry way.
Why am I only discovering this now? I got two bad grades while I could have watched this video and mastered the exams. There is no way I am going to miss these questions on any exam again. Thanks for a flawless explanation
This video so clearly and quickly explained concepts that have confused me for so long. Thank you!
great explanation, i will continue to refer back to this video if i forget something.
めっちゃ分かりやすい!
I am having the biology exam after 2 days. I'm in 8th grade and our teacher didn't explained it that well (Though she's very helpful), I was so confused between these 2 but now my doubts are clear. Thanks
Elegant video, thank you.
I truly appreciate the informational straightforwardness
thank you for clearing up the vasodilation/constriction thing i was confused when my teacher was teaching about it
This video saved my life 💕💕 I have an exam tomorrow and I couldn't understand anything thank you so much 😭😭💕💕💕
Tai Yo
How did you do on the exam?
Give us the update yo? How was the exam?
You should try being experiential with this work if you want to truly know this information. Good luck.
How did you do on your exam?
so, how was the exam?
My anatomy professor is terrible and this video just explained the topic so well. Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Great visual! This helped so much! Thank you
Great explanation and differentiation between the two systems...Thank you!
ive watched so many videos about sns but this one is the best
You saving lives out here, thank you so much.
Thank you for this amazing explanation!
It's really good to hear👏👏!! how our internal organ works👍
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL ❤ ABSOLUTE RESORTTT EVERYTIME!
great explanation; well done 👌👍
I come back to this video every other lecture because it is so short and good.
When it comes to videos I trust you
Whenever I c your videos it excites me coz I I have solved my problem

THANK YOU! Couldn't have been any clearer!
Ur videos are awesome...no words to explain..thanks a lot ...
one thing you should know
i love you guys with all my heart
This video is so helpful in imagining the divergence of nerves 🥰
Wow amazing 😍😍😍 It really helps us a lot in studying Anatomy!
This is the best video on the topic.
Wow this is so clear explanation I have found ever
Thanks Alila Medical Media; those who are following my 'crumb trail' will find this useful
. Basically disavow both ill intent attacks on these two systems. Joop Joop!
What do you reckon David? Could this be involved in targeted ranged attacks. The so called 'death ray' stuff. What do you reckon 008?
This is really helpful. Thanks a lot!
Very informative!
Best video for medical students... Thank u so much
