6 0

The parasympathetic nervous system responds when the body is relaxed and at rest while sympathetic nervous system is responsible for response to emergency situation.

Explanation:

  • The sympathetic nervous system is called fight or flight division  while the parasympathetic nervous system is the rest and digest division.
  • The pre-ganglionic neurons of sympathetic nervous system arises from lumbar and thoracic regions of spinal chord while the preganglionic neurons of parasympathetic nervous system arises from the brain and sacral region of the spinal cord.
  • The sympathetic nervous system decreases the activity of digestive system while the parasympathetic nervous system increases the activity of digestive system.
  • Sympathetic nervous system dilates bronchioles while parasympathetic nervous system constricts bronchioles.
  • Sympathetic nervous system increases blood pressure while parasympathetic nervous system usually do not effect  blood pressure.
  • Sympathetic nervous system increases heart rate while parasympathetic nervous system decreases heart rate.

The mitochondrion, like the nucleus, has two or more membrane layers. How is the innermost of these layers different from that o
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The double membrane of the mitochondria is highly folded,and therefore wider when unfolded than that of the nucleus.This is an adaptive feature  to increase the surface area for reactions (electrochemical  gradient) by accommodating protons pumped into it by the proton motive force(PMF)  from the matrix to set up the electrochemical gradients needed to generate the energy needed by ATPase synthase enzymes for ATPs synthesis.

Required number of protons needed to be accommodated by the double membrane to generate enough energy for ATPase synthesis,therefore larger surface area is needed.
