Question

for the following physiological responses regarding an aspect of the ans:
increased digestive activity
select whether it is unique to the parasympathetic or sympathetic systems or belongs to both.
○ sympathetic
○ both
○ parasympathetic

Explanation:

The parasympathetic nervous system (part of the ANS) is responsible for "rest - and - digest" functions. It increases digestive activity, like stimulating digestive gland secretion and smooth muscle contractions in the digestive tract. The sympathetic nervous system is for "fight - or - flight" and generally inhibits digestive activity. So increased digestive activity is unique to the parasympathetic system.

Answer:

C. parasympathetic
