Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The autonomic nervous system is a component of the peripheral nervous system that regulates involuntary physiologic processes including heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, digestion, and sexual arousal.

Detailed explanation-2: -Normally, parasympathetic activity increases as a patient transitions from wakefulness to non-REM sleep, but this response may be overactive or reduced depending on the type of sleep-related breathing disorder.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the stomach and intestines, parasympathetic stimulation of M receptors leads to increased motility and relaxation of sphincters. Stimulation of M receptors also increases gastric secretions to aid in digestion. In the gallbladder, parasympathetic stimulation of M3 receptors stimulates contraction to release bile.
