The Human Body — Test

Question 21 • Biology

Which part of the autonomic system is most likely to be dominant while someone is napping after lunch?

Answer
A
the peripheral nervous system
B
the parasympathetic nervous system
C
the somatic nervous system
D
the sympathetic nervous system

Explanation

The parasympathetic nervous system is associated with “rest and digest” activity, such as relaxing and supporting digestion after a meal. During a nap after lunch, it is therefore more likely to be dominant than the sympathetic system, which prepares the body for action.
