Question:
Differences between sympathetic neural system and parasympathetic neural system?
Answer:
Hi there!
Some of the common differences between sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are as follows:
| Sympathetic Nervous System | Parasympathetic Nervous System |
| 1. Gets activated under conditions of emergency. | 1. Activate after the emergency is over. |
| 2. Prepares the body for a fight or flight response. | 2. Brings the body's activity back to normal. |
| 3. Has a quick response because of short neural pathway. | 3. Has a relatively longer pathway, thus, the response is comparatively slower. |
| 4. The neurons involved in this system release adrenaline at the junction of effector muscle. | 4. The neurons involved in this system release acetylcholine at the junction of effector muscle. |
