Autonomic Nervous System and Spinal Cord Injury
Tracking # 20-1198766
Course overview
The autonomic nervous system is a component of the peripheral nervous system that regulates involuntary physiological processes including heart rate blood pressure respiration digestion and sexual arousal. It contains three anatomically distinct divisions: the sympathetic parasympathetic and enteric nervous systems. Spinal cord injury affects the functioning of the autonomic nervous system and can result in cardiovascular thermoregulatory respiratory gastrointestinal and genitourinary dysfunction. This course provides a comprehensive review of the impact spinal cord injury can have on the autonomic nervous system.
