Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system is involved in promoting rest and digestion. It helps to conserve and restore energy in the body by slowing down heart rate, increasing intestinal and glandular activity, and relaxing muscles in the urinary and digestive systems.
