Determine how the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems achieve homeostasis even though they work antagonistically
What will be an ideal response?
Together, the two divisions of the ANS maintain a balance that ensures the body's needs are met in an appropriate way at all times. They are able to accomplish this because most organs are innervated by neurons from both systems, referred to as dual innervation. This allows the sympathetic nervous system to become dominant and trigger effects that maintain homeostasis during exercise or emergency, and the parasympathetic nervous system to regulate these same organs and preserve homeostasis when the emergency or exercise has finished.
