How Does the Parasympathetic System Affect the Body?
The parasympathetic system influences various bodily functions, including:
Heart Rate: It decreases heart rate and reduces the force of heart contractions. Digestive System: It increases digestive secretions and promotes peristalsis, aiding in digestion and nutrient absorption. Respiratory System: It constricts bronchioles, reducing airflow when the body is at rest. Urinary System: It promotes bladder contraction for urination. Eyes: It constricts pupils and stimulates tear production.
