Fight or Flight is the common phrasing used with references to the sympathetic nervous system. Poop & Relax is the phrase my neuroanatomy teacher used many times today when referring to the parasympathetic nervous system.
That class is something else. I need to make sense of all the different combinations of the following words ...
preganglionic, postganglionic, parasympathetic, orthosympathetic, afferent, efferent, autonomic, paravertebral, prevertebral ...
Individually, these words don't seem too bad, it's the various combinations and subsets that get me. I've got to get to bed - it's midnight again.
