Question

if your body starts to feel relaxed, your ____ nervous system is becoming more active.

a. parasympathetic
b. central
c. autonomic
d. somatic

Explanation:

The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for the "rest - and - digest" response, which leads to relaxation in the body. The central nervous system (B) consists of the brain and spinal cord and has a broader role in processing information. The autonomic nervous system (C) is a larger system that includes both the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems, so it's not specific enough here. The somatic nervous system (D) is involved in voluntary muscle movements and sensory input, not relaxation. So the correct answer is A as the parasympathetic nervous system becomes more active during relaxation.

Answer:

A. parasympathetic
