The sympathetic nervous system is to ____ as the parasympathetic nervous system is to ____.​ a. ​emergencies; relaxation b. ​fight; flight c. ​striated muscles; smooth muscles d. ​assertiveness; aggressiveness

Respuesta :

The correct answer is a. emergencies; relaxation.
The sympathetic nervous system is a part of the autonomous nervous system which is active during the fight or flight reactions (in response to a harmful event, attack, or threat). The parasympathetic nervous system is complementary to sympathetic and it stimulates the body to "feed and breed" and to "rest-and-digest".

The sympathetic nervous system is to EMERGENCIES as the parasympathetic nervous to RELAXATION.

  • The sympathetic nervous system drives involuntary responses during dangerous/stressful situations.

  • Norepinephrine and epinephrine hormones can be secreted during emergency situations.

  • Conversely, the parasympathetic nervous system is aimed at slowing heart rate, breath rate and blood pressure.

In conclusion, the sympathetic nervous system is to EMERGENCIES as the parasympathetic nervous to RELAXATION.
