Answer: Option A) parasympathetic nervous system
Explanation:
The autonomic nervous system consists of two parts namely
- the sympathetic nervous system SNS, and
- the parasympathetic nervous system PNS
The PNS stimulates the same organs as SNS, but its action is opposite to SNS.
And it acts to return the body to a normal state, thus it is associated with actions such as:
- slowing heart beat
- dilates arteries,
- lowering blood pressure
- stimulating saliva secretion etc
All these actions of the PNS bring about rest, repair, and energy storage.
