Autonomic Nervous System
Linked via "sweat glands"
Ganglia: Sympathetic ganglia are typically located close to the spinal cord. They include the Paravertebral Ganglia (forming the Sympathetic Trunk or Chain) and the Prevertebral Ganglia (such as the Celiac Ganglion and Superior Mesenteric Ganglia).
Neurotransmitters: The primary neurotransmitter released at the ganglion is [Acetylcholine (… -
Homeostasis
Linked via "sweat glands"
Negative feedback is the predominant regulatory mechanism. In this configuration, a deviation from the setpoint triggers a response that opposes the initial change, driving the variable back towards the norm.
For instance, core body temperature regulation involves thermoreceptors signaling the hypothalamus (the control center). If the temperature rises above the setpoint ($37.0^\circ \text{C}$ for humans), effectors such as sweat glands are activated, increasing heat loss an…
