Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The primary purpose of the autonomic nervous system is to conduct impulses for all of our involuntary and subconscious activities. This can include functions like increasing the heart rate, digesting our food, and escaping from danger.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Parasympathetic Division of the ANS conserves the body’s energy during times of relaxation and supports internal body functions, such as the digestion of food.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
