Understand the role of the parasympathetic nervous system: It is part of the autonomic nervous system, which controls involuntary bodily functions.
Recognize the functions of the parasympathetic nervous system: It promotes relaxation, reduces heart rate, increases digestive activity, and conserves energy.
Compare the parasympathetic nervous system with the sympathetic nervous system: The sympathetic system is responsible for 'fight or flight' responses, while the parasympathetic system is responsible for 'rest and digest' activities.
Identify the physiological effects of the parasympathetic nervous system: It stimulates salivation, lacrimation, urination, digestion, and defecation (often abbreviated as SLUDD).
Conclude that the parasympathetic nervous system is indeed referred to as the 'rest and digest' system due to its calming and energy-conserving effects on the body.
