Q1.a Why do human have a diving reflex?
b.In addition to bradycardia (low heart rate) and peripheral vasoconstriction, the human diving response also affects which division of the autonomic nervous system?
c Is the stimulation of this division increased or decreased?
d.Which cranial nerve is stimulated to initiate the diving response?
Answer the following and provide a BRIEF/SHORT explanation for each:
A. Which division of the autonomic nervous system does smelling lemon juice (or other citrus juices) stimulate the production of watery saliva?
B. What phase of the digestive process does this stimulate?
C. Why do humans have diving reflex?
D. Which cranial nerve is stimulated to initiate the diving response?
E. In addition to bradycardia, or low heart rate, and peripheral vasoconstriction, the human diving response also affects which division of the autonomic nervous system?
Is the stimulation of this division increased or decreased? Why or why not?
F. What is the cranial nerve that serves as a channel for the parasympathetic neurones that innervate the heart?
G. Describe when during exercise you would expect the various divisions of the autonomic nervous system to be very active.
