question 69 (0.5 points)
salivary gland secretion of saliva is stimulated by the ______________.
○ somatic nervous system
○ sympathetic nervous system.
○ parasympathetic nervous system

Explanation:

The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for "rest and digest" functions, including stimulating salivary gland secretion. The somatic nervous system controls voluntary movements, and the sympathetic nervous system is for "fight or flight" (which typically reduces salivation). So the correct option relates to the parasympathetic nervous system.

Answer:

C. parasympathetic nervous system (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C as per typical multiple - choice where A is somatic nervous system, B is sympathetic nervous system, C is parasympathetic nervous system)
