1. Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS)
Often called the "fight-or-flight" system, the sympathetic nervous system prepares the body for intense physical activity and stress responses.

When activated, it releases neurotransmitters like norepinephrine and epinephrine (adrenaline), causing various physiological changes.

Effects on Organs:
🔴 Heart: Increases heart rate and force of contraction, thus raising blood pressure and cardiac output.

🔴 Lungs: Dilates bronchioles, allowing more oxygen to enter the bloodstream.

🔴 Eyes: Dilates pupils (mydriasis), allowing more light to enter and enhancing vision.

🔴 Digestive System: Decreases digestive activity by reducing blood flow, decreasing salivation, and slowing peristalsis (intestinal movement).

🔴 Liver: Stimulates glycogenolysis (breakdown of glycogen to glucose) to increase blood sugar levels.

🔴 Adrenal Glands: Stimulates the release of epinephrine and norepinephrine for a heightened fight-or-flight response.

🔴 Urinary System: Relaxes bladder wall muscles and constricts sphincters, reducing urination.

🔴 Skin: Stimulates sweat production to cool the body down.

2. Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS)
Known as the "rest-and-digest" system, the parasympathetic nervous system conserves energy and promotes relaxation, digestion, and recovery.

It releases acetylcholine as its primary neurotransmitter, which activates the calming effects on the body.

Effects on Organs:
🔵 Heart: Decreases heart rate and the force of contraction, lowering blood pressure and promoting a relaxed state.

🔵 Lungs: Constricts bronchioles, as high oxygen levels are less needed during rest.

🔵 Eyes: Constricts pupils (miosis), allowing less light in for a more relaxed visual state.

🔵Digestive System: Increases digestive activity by enhancing blood flow, increasing salivation, and promoting peristalsis, which aids in digestion.

🔵 Liver: Promotes glycogen synthesis, storing glucose for future energy needs.

🔵 Adrenal Glands: No significant effect, as these glands are primarily under sympathetic control.

🔵 Urinary System: Contracts the bladder wall muscles and relaxes sphincters to promote urination.

🔵 Skin: Generally no direct effect, but it promotes relaxation, which reduces sweating.

Causes of slumping and dying
When blood vessels narrow, the heart muscle can become irritated because of lack of blood supply. In heart attack (acute myocardial infarction), a blood vessel becomes completely blocked by a blood clot, and there is enough irritability of the muscle to cause ventricular fibrillation.

Kate Halim Last week, Mrs. Bola Johnson slumped and died one evening in her compound. When she hit the ground, her neighbours rushed her to the hospital close to their estate in Lagos. But the mother of one was pronounced dead on arrival. There was nothing the doctor on duty and his team could do .....

“Canada Day is a day to reflect on what it means to be Canadian, to share what makes us proud and to celebrate in our own way. This pride is reflected in as many ways as there are Canadians. Canada Day highlights the richness of our land, our diversity, our culture, our contributions, but above all, our people”. Happy Canada Day.
