Question 1 of 5
In contrast to the sympathetic nervous system, the functions of the parasympathetic nervous system include:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Anabolism. The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for the "rest and digest" response, promoting activities such as digestion, salivation, and anabolism (building up of tissues). This is in contrast to the sympathetic nervous system, which triggers the "fight or flight" response. Sweating (

B) and vasoconstriction (
C) are also controlled by the sympathetic nervous system in fight or flight situations.
Therefore, choices A, B, and C are incorrect in relation to the functions of the parasympathetic nervous system.
