Parasympathetic system causes:
Correct answer: A. Digestion of food
- A. Digestion of food
- B. Accelerated heart beat
- C. High metabolism
- D. Rapid muscle movement
Explanation
Yes, the parasympathetic nervous system stimulates digestive activities. When activated, it promotes functions associated with the "rest and digest" response, which includes increasing salivation, peristalsis (the process that moves food through the digestive tract), and the activity of the stomach and intestines to digest food. It also stimulates the secretion of digestive enzymes and bile, aiding in the breakdown and absorption of nutrients.

About Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
