The sympathetic nervous system regulates the cardiovascular system, the fight-or-flight response, and the body temperature; no further education is needed.

Local anesthetics are the only drugs shown to work by reducing axonal conduction. Antihypertensives, antipsychotics, and antidepressants do not act by reducing axonal conduction.
