guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

C) It has a long preganglionic fibers

Explanation:

Peripheral nervous system (PNS) is the nervous system that contains nerves and ganglia outside the central nervous system (CNS). PNS is divided into:

  1. somatic (voluntary) nervous system-controls the movements of the skeletal muscles
  2. autonomic (involuntary) nervous system-controls the smooth muscles and glands and thus it is the regulator of the major body functions. It is subdivided into tree groups:
  • sympathetic ("fight and flight") system-responsible for stressful and active situations (but also in normal conditions);contains short preganglionic fibers and long postganglionic fibers.
  • parasympathetic ("rest and digest") system-opposite to sympathetic, responsible for the maintenance of body's activities at rest.
  • enteric nervous system-controls the function of the gastrointestinal tract.

What are the dangers to the nervous system and consequences for a person's health while using ecstasy?
salantis [7]

Answer:

Effects of Ecstasy on the nervous system:

- stimulant

- psychedelic

- neurotoxic

- abnormal neurotransmitter function  

- injured cognitive functions (e.g., sleep and pain control)

Explanation:

Ecstasy, also known as MDMA (3,4Methylenedioxymethamphetamine), is a stimulant and psychedelic drug that may exhibit neurotoxic effects. This amphetamine analog (i.e, drug based upon the amphetamine structure) has several effects on the nervous system which are caused by the increase in the activity of three major neurotransmitters: serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. It has been shown that Ecstasy alters the central nervous system, producing neurotoxic effects and affecting brain functions including, among others, cognitive functioning and development, neuroendocrine release mechanisms, sleep control, pain control, etc.
