26 activities of the digestive system generally increase when it is stimulated by _ impulses multiple choice sensory sympathetic somatic parasympathetic
The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for the "rest - and - digest" response. When stimulated by parasympathetic impulses, it promotes digestive activities such as increasing glandular secretion (e.g., saliva, gastric juice) and enhancing smooth muscle contractions (peristalsis) in the digestive tract. Sensory impulses are for transmitting information about the internal and external environment to the central nervous system. Sympathetic impulses are associated with the "fight - or - flight" response and generally inhibit digestive activities. Somatic impulses are related to the voluntary control of skeletal muscles and are not directly involved in regulating digestive system activities.
