Accepted Answer

Parasympathetic stimulation increases gastric motility, promoting digestion and absorption of nutrients.

Answer: C
 Parasympathetic stimulation causes sweat glands to secrete, which helps to reduce body temperature during periods of heat stress or exercise.

Answer: D
 Sympathetic stimulation causes blood vessels in the skin to dilate, increasing blood flow to dissipate heat or oxygenate working muscles, while parasympathetic stimulation has the opposite effect, causing blood vessels to constrict.
