商品簡介
Reviews the current knowledge about the structure and function of autonomic nerves and associated sensory nerves in the organ that keeps our insides and outsides sorted out as well as serving a number of important functions such as thermoregulation and holding makeup in place. Considers a wide range of vertebrates, but emphasizes peripheral nerve pathways in mammals, and draws heavily on information derived from conscious humans. The eight contributions cover pathways to cutaneous effectors, vasoconstriction, vasodilation, sympathetic nerve activity, the control of cutaneous veins, effectors as indicators of abnormal sympathetic function, the control of the cutaneous vascular system by afferent neurons, and the sympathetic modulation of sensory receptors.
