The Functional Rating Scale Taskforce for pre-Huntington Disease (FuRST-pHD) is a multinational, multidisciplinary initiative with the goal of developing a data-driven, comprehensive, psychometrically sound, rating scale for assessing symptoms and functional ability in prodromal and early Huntington disease (HD) gene expansion carriers.
Both parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system control digestion by contacting the enteric nervous system in the wall of the digestive tract. The parasympathetic division typically stimulates digestion while the sympathetic division typically inhibits it.
Autonomic (visceral) motor neurons synapse onto neurons located in the ganglia of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system, which in turn directly innervate muscles and some glands. In this way, visceral motor neurons can be said to indirectly innervate smooth muscles of arteries and cardiac muscle.he autonomic nervous system is part of the peripheral nervous system and controls the function of many muscles, glands and organs within the body.
