Question

which specific subdivision of the nervous system calms the body after strenuous physical activity?(1 point)○ autonomic nervous system○ somatic nervous system○ parasympathetic nervous system○ sympathetic nervous system

Explanation:

The autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary bodily functions, split into two subdivisions. The sympathetic nervous system activates the "fight-or-flight" response during stress/activity, while the parasympathetic nervous system triggers the "rest-and-digest" response to calm the body after activity. The somatic nervous system controls voluntary muscle movement, so it is not involved here.

Answer:

parasympathetic nervous system
