Carol is enjoying eating her dinner. While eating, she notices that her saliva secretion is higher than normal and that she feels good and relaxed. What causes this relaxed state? Parasympathetic nervous system Sympathetic nervous system Peripheral nervous system
What do u think ?
B ?
The salivary glands are controlled by the two divisions of the autonomic nervous system, the sympathetic and the parasympathetic. The parasympathetic nerve supply regulates secretion by the acinar cells and causes the blood vessels to dilate.
Ooh , so A .
Yes to be specific, the parasympathetic system is responsible for stimulation of "rest-and-digest" or "feed and breed" activities that occur when the body is at rest, especially after eating, including sexual arousal, salivation, lacrimation (tears), urination, digestion and defecation
