The division of the Autonomic Nervous System that slows responses (resting and digesting).
A
sympathetic
B
parasympathetic
C
motor
D
sensory
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The parasympathetic part of your autonomic nervous system balances your sympathetic nervous system. While your sympathetic nervous system controls your body’s “fight or flight” response, your parasympathetic nervous system helps to control your body’s response during times of rest.

Detailed explanation-2: -The parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS) is a division of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) that controls the activity of the smooth and cardiac muscles and glands. It works in synergy with the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), which complements the PSNS activity.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Parasympathetic Nervous System: Rest and Digest The parasympathetic nervous system affects the same body functions as the sympathetic nervous system, but in a completely different way. It works to slow down certain responses and bring about a state of calm to the body, allowing it to rest, relax, and repair itself.
