| | Blockade of the parasympathetic nervous system alone with use of atropine did not interfere with the circulatory response to exercise, whereas when only the sympathetic system was blocked with guanethidine, cardiac output, mean arterial pressure, and left ventricular work during exercise were significantly lower than during the predrug exercise period. | | | It seemed clear that stimulation of nervous pathways in the sympathetic nervous system could result in profound augmentation of the contractile state of the human myocardium. | | | More information on the role of sympathetic activity in mediating cardiovascular response to exercise was sought in another study of healthy volunteers and patients with mild-to-moderate heart disease, who performed exercise on a motor-driven treadmill at varying speeds and inclines. |

| | The ANS |
| | The sympathetic nerves reach their end-organs through more devious pathways down the spinal cord to clusters of sympathetic nerve bodies (ganglia) alongside the spine where the messages are relayed to other nerve bodies (or neurons) that travel to a large extent with the blood vessels to all parts of the body. | | | Through these nervous pathways, the autonomic nerves convey stimuli resulting in largely unconscious, reflex, bodily adjustments such as in the size of the pupil, the digestive functions of the stomach and intestines, the rate and depth of respiration and dilatation or constriction of the blood vessels. | | | The afferent nerves subserving both systems convey impulses from sensory organs, muscles, the circulatory system and all the organs of the body to the controlling centers in the medulla, pons and hypothalamus. |
