3. In AD the sympathetic response becomes overactive because the spinal cord is injured or severed and messages do not progress up the spinal cord so the brain does not receive those messages. Why does the parasympathetic response remain functional in spinal cord injuries?
The parasympathetic branch is carried out by a nerve that originates above the spinal cord injury
The parasympathetic branch is carried out by the hypothalamus which is located in the base of the brain, above the spinal cord injury
The parasympathetic response is carried out through skeletal muscles, not nerves
The parasympathetic response is carried out through smooth muscles and glands, not nerves.
