Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The parasympathetic nervous system, in contrast, exerts both excitatory and inhibitory control over gastric and intestinal tone and motility (i.e., milling, absorption, secretion, and defecation), implying a more finely tuned and complex influence over GI activity.
Detailed explanation-2: -The autonomic nervous system controls all “automatic” body functions, such as breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, sweating, mouth-watering (salivating), and the movement of food through the intestines (peristalsis).
