the parasympathetic division functions in:
a restoration and conservation of body energy reserves
b emergency system
c mobilization of body reserves
d none of these
The parasympathetic nervous system is often referred to as the "rest and digest" system. It works to conserve energy by slowing the heart rate, increasing intestinal and gland activity, and relaxing sphincter muscles in the gastrointestinal tract. This is in contrast to the sympathetic nervous system, which is involved in the "fight - or - flight" response (emergency system, mobilization of body reserves).
