Question
which of the following would be an example of a sympathetic nervous system action?
stimulation of salivation
contraction of bladder
constriction of bronchi
inhibition of digestion
The sympathetic nervous system is activated during the "fight - or - flight" response. Stimulation of salivation, contraction of the bladder, and constriction of bronchi are functions of the parasympathetic nervous system (rest - and - digest response). The sympathetic nervous system inhibits digestion to divert energy to more urgent functions during stress.
