Question

An injury to the nervous system results in nervousness and hyperactivity. Which division of the nervous system was damaged by the injury? Central Sympathetic Sensory somatic Parasympathetic

Answer 1

Sympathetic nervous system

Step-by-step explanation:

This entire physiological process in the face of any stimulus and situation of high emotional connotation, such as nervousness or hyperactivity, is organized by an injury to the sympathetic nervous system.

The sympathetic nervous system is one of the branches of the autonomic nervous system. We must remember first of all that we are dealing with a type of structure that is responsible for a large number of involuntary functions. That is, tasks such as heart rate control, digestion, sweating, etc. These dimensions are regulated by both the sympathetic and parasympathetic or enteric nervous systems. The sympathetic nervous system also regulates reactions such as nervousness, bouts, feelings of escape and hyperactivity.

Answer 2

Since the sympathetic nervous system activates the 'fight or flight' response, I'd say the sympathetic nervous system was damaged by the injury.
