Sympath is a term used in medicine and biology to refer to the sympathetic part of the autonomic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system plays an important role in regulating many body functions such as breathing, heart rate, blood pressure and others.
The sympathetic system consists of two sections - upper and lower. The upper division, also called the parasympathetic system, is responsible for regulating internal organs such as the stomach and intestines. The lower region, also known as the sympathetic region, is responsible for regulating functions related to movement such as heart rate, blood pressure, sweating, etc.
In the human body, the sympathetic system interacts with the parasympathetic, which ensures a balance between them. If the sympathetic system is too active, it can lead to high blood pressure, increased heart rate, and other health problems. However, if the parasympathetic system is too highly activated, it can also lead to health problems such as constipation, decreased appetite and other disorders.
To maintain a balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, the body uses special hormones such as adrenaline and norepinephrine. They are released in response to stressful situations and help the body adapt to changing environmental conditions.
Thus, the sympathetic system plays an important role in regulating many functions of the body and maintaining a balance between the upper and lower parts. Understanding how it works can help in the prevention and treatment of various diseases associated with dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system.
