Question
which part of the cns is responsible for calming us? image of a person parachuting options: autonomic nervous system, peripheral nervous system, parasympathetic system, sympathetic nervous system
The question is about the part of the CNS (Central Nervous System - though note: the parasympathetic system is part of the autonomic nervous system, which is part of the peripheral nervous system, but in terms of calming, the parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for the "rest and digest" response, calming the body. The autonomic nervous system has two parts: sympathetic (fight or flight, arousing) and parasympathetic (calming). The peripheral nervous system includes autonomic and somatic; the autonomic is a broader category. So the parasympathetic system is the one that calms us.
