GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -First, when food enters the stomach area, the parasympathetic nervous system ups the work of the sympathetic nervous system. This automatic tone shift in favor of the parasympathetic is what arouses the sloth-like attitude.

Detailed explanation-2: -"The parasympathetic nervous system is activated when you eat, but (the extent to which it induces sleepiness) depends on the magnitude of the meal."

Detailed explanation-3: -Can you improve how your parasympathetic nervous system functions? There are many ways to practice using your parasympathetic nervous system. These include mild exercise, meditation, yoga, deep breathing from your diaphragm, even nature walks.

Detailed explanation-4: -Examples of parasympathetic responses Salivation: As part of its rest-and-digest function, the PSNS stimulates production of saliva, which contains enzymes to help your food digest. Lacrimation: Lacrimation is a fancy word for making tears. Tears keep your eyes lubricated, preserving their delicate tissues.

Detailed explanation-5: -Sometimes the two divisions have opposite effects on the same organ. For example, the sympathetic division increases blood pressure, and the parasympathetic division decreases it. Overall, the two divisions work together to ensure that the body responds appropriately to different situations.
