Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The regulation of body temperature is a uniquely sympathetic function because it is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system's activation of thermoregulatory mechanisms, such as sweating and shivering, in response to changes in environmental temperature. The other options (regulation of pupil size, cardiac rate, and respiratory rate) can also be influenced by the sympathetic nervous system, but they are not uniquely controlled by it.
