Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Your parasympathetic nervous system is a network of nerves that relaxes your body after periods of stress or danger. It also helps run life-sustaining processes, like digestion, during times when you feel safe and relaxed.

Detailed explanation-2: -The other part of the autonomic nervous system, the parasympathetic nervous system, helps the body return to normal after the threat is over. It will automatically lower heart rate and breathing and move blood back to the rest of the body (for example, the digestive system or reproductive system).

Detailed explanation-3: -The sympathetic system controls “fight-or-flight” responses. In other words, this system prepares the body for strenuous physical activity. The events that we would expect to occur within the body to allow this to happen do, in fact, occur. The parasympathetic system regulates “rest and digest” functions.

Detailed explanation-4: -Acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter of the parasympathetic nervous system, effects cellular responses (mAChR) in glands, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle cells via activation of muscarinic cholinergic receptors.
