Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The parasympathetic division of the ANS is responsible for preparing the body for rest and digest by carrying nerve impulses to the visceral organs. It works in opposition to the sympathetic division, which prepares the body for fight or flight responses. The parasympathetic division does not control skeletal muscles or carry sensory information from them, but it does carry sensory information from visceral organs to the CNS.
