The _______ System is Most Active During Periods of Calm

Question

The _______ system is most active during periods of calm and physical rest.
A) sympathetic
B) paravertebral
C) parasympathetic
D) peripheral nervous

Accepted Answer

The parasympathetic system is responsible for promoting rest and relaxation in the body. It counteracts the effects of the sympathetic system, which is responsible for activating the body's fight or flight response during times of stress and danger. Therefore, the parasympathetic system is most active during periods of calm and physical rest.
