Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for the body’s rest and digestion response when the body is relaxed, resting, or feeding. It basically undoes the work of sympathetic division after a stressful situation. The parasympathetic nervous system decreases respiration and heart rate and increases digestion.

Detailed explanation-2: -The parasympathetic system turns up the flow of saliva by releasing a chemical, acetylcholine, which stimulates the glands to make more saliva.

Detailed explanation-3: -The parasympathetic division directs the body toward a “rest or digest” mode, generally decreasing heart rate and blood pressure. Under parasympathetic stimulation, blood vessels normally dilate, increasing blood flow but lowering pressure.
